Tony, found one...
A VERY GOOD AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR PERIOD "SOLID SHOT" SIX (6) POUND CANNON
BALL, ca. 1770s: In overall very good untouched condition. Solid shot, 3 1/2"
diameter, approx. six (6) pound ball. In very good untouched condition with the
expected heavy pitting and an untouched chocolate brown age patina overall.
Some scattered roughness and an impact dent. A nice, authentic, medium-sized,
Revolutionary War Period Cannon Ball, ca. 1770s.
Price: $325.00
Now if I drilled out a tapered hole, had it nickle/brass plated, the bead
weight would be cut down to around 3.5 to 4 pounds, hopefully.
With the hook weighing in itself at 3 pounds, I probably won't need to add any
lead wrap to the shank.
This could work...a little pricy, though. I wonder who's head made the impact
dent...
Let's seeee.... the 'Cannonball Caddis'?
