Revolutionary War era British Large Grapeshot from a Lake Erie Site

Revolutionary War era British Large Grapeshot from a Lake Erie Site

$65.00Price

[1.75″, 13 oz] Excavated from a Revolutionary War site near Lake Erie in NY. These large grapeshot were encased in canvas bags in clusters and wrapped with twine around a metal stem to give the appearance of “grapes” on a stem. In many cases, these bags were painted red. These were most often used in naval engagements. These have obvious nice seams, British in origin. These are identified as large grape shot instead of swivel shot due to the fabric remnants found on other exact size shot in the same site.
