Description:This is one of the lead pigs shipped to North Carolina in the early days of the war. A small number of these were recovered from a sunken blockade runner, and they are highly desirable to collectors today. These average 137 pounds each. An invoice from a photograph in Round Ball to Rimfire shows another (actually mine) that came from the same source.
This is in the Richmond area but can be shipped.
