Item Title: Brass bushing marked NYB

Price: $65

Shipping: Not included

Provenance: US

Type: Brass bushing to accept a USN watercap fuse

Shell Type:

Thread Diameter:

Thread Count:

Book:

Location Recovered: Fort Fisher

Description:Brass bushing from a shell. This had a USN watercap fuse in it, and the threads are perfect for screwing one back in. The coolest thing about this is that "NYB" is stamped in the bottom. I am pretty sure this is for Navy Yard Brooklyn. One like this is shown on page 11 of Jones' fuse book, but he attributes it to Boston instead of Brooklyn which it also could be.

I have only had a small handful of these marked ones over all the years.
