We will be at the Baltimore Antique Arms Show this coming weekend -- March 22-23. Because we have the heaviest inventory of anyone, they put us in the far back corner. Head straight for table Z24 and don't spend all your money before you get there. Odds are high that we will have more Civil War artillery projectiles in our one remote outpost than the rest of the show combined.

Item Number: A01640

Item Title: Mac Mason marked stand of grape for the 32pdr gun

Price: $1500

Shipping: Not included

Provenance: US/CS

Type: Quilter stand of grape

Size: 32pdr

Sabot:

Fuse:

Book:

Location Recovered: James River defenses

Description:Beautiful stand of grape for 32pdr cannon. Professionally restored by pinning the shot together in 3 donut layers and reattaching the center bar almost invisibly. To top it off, the base has Mac Mason's distinctive writing on it which notes that this was recovered along the James River.

This would have been originally wrapped in canvas and heavy duty twine giving it a look of a bunch of grapes (hence the name "stand of grape") Obviously the canvas has long since rotted away and forcing us to have to re-secure the shot with pins.

I am hesitant to ship this and so would greatly prefer to deliver it at an upcoming show.
