A879.   three inch Hotchkiss shell in very good dug condition, this shell was one of the most widely used in the war, this is an early style that took a wood drive in fuse plug, the iron is in good shape, strong and stable with only slight pitting, the lead sabot is securely attached and in good shape

A878.   here is a very unique relic, the base from a 3.67" Hotchkiss shell, while these are often seen, this one was fired at Chattanooga and has a couple of stones firmly embedded in it, you can still partially see the Hotchkiss patent marking, cool relic

A863.    nice group of artillery fragments dug along with the remnant of a Bormann fuse in Middle TN

A852. Frankford Arsenal pack of 15 second fuses in very good condition, it is a paper wrapped wood block containing five 15 second fuses, the paper is in good shape with just a couple of spots worn through, the writing is very strong, dated 1863

A849. five exploded Bormann fuses in good shape, the one on the bottom left is in two pieces, makes a cool display

A835. pack of five paper time fuses tied in a plain tan wrapper, the war department put out a circular dated October 23, 1862 saying that all future time fuses would be made at Frankford Arsenal to insure uniformity of size and burn rate, I believe this was a pack that predated this order made at one of the other arsenals, the pack is in good shape but does have a tear at the top showing a couple of the fuses
