This stand is likely for a 24-pounder and has an approx. diameter of 5.51”. Along with the base and the stand, there are 12 balls roughly 2” in diameter around the central shaft. The balls seem to be held in place by a cloth mesh and heavy twine. The entire stand is covered with a resinous brick red paint. The recreated stand is made from original balls and a center shaft. CONDITION: the excavated balls appear to be relatively solid and stable, and the stand simulates an original look of Revolutionary War grapeshot. (02-21306/BF). $500-800.
