Description:This is a nice 12pdr cannon ball with the desireable and distinctive casting vent mark that makes these known as a "belly button" ball. There is another mark a quarter of the way down that could be a broad arrow stamp, but it is unclear. 3 different dealers looked at this at Mansfield and each thought it was probably a borad arrow mark, but none could be positive. If the marking was crisp, this cannon ball would sell for $800+
