From: Don Ordes <f...@tribcsp.com> Subject: [VFB] Re: Midge bead-head needed... found one! To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Date: Sunday, November 1, 2009, 6:26 PM 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'? DonO --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
