Description:Half section of a smooth sided Confederate Read shell. This half has the lathe lug on the nose and base chipping. These types of Reads were prone to base chipping upon firing. This one was cut with the powder cavity half full. The powder is caked, but still...
I have the other half of this shell too. I'm selling it for an estate, and this is what the previous owner paid for it in 2021. ex Pete George collection.
