Historical Context & Origin

Region: Likely North America
Material: Solid ferrous iron
Period: Likely 18th–19th Century

Description

This impressive solid iron sphere exhibits the distinct characteristics of historic artillery shot. The surface displays deep oxidation, stabilized rusting, and heavy age patina, giving it a powerful battlefield presence. Its dimensions closely correspond to traditional 6-pounder field cannon ammunition, though its comparatively lighter weight suggests the possibility of internal casting voids, variant iron composition, or production as industrial or maritime shot produced to similar standards of the era.

Presented as an Attributed Historic Iron Cannonball / Shot, this is a highly atmospheric and display-worthy relic representing the destructive power and engineering developments of early artillery.

Features

- Solid ferrous iron construction

- Deeply aged surface with stabilized oxidation

- Strong visual authenticity and battlefield character

- Excellent display presence

Cultural Significance

Iron cannon shot played a pivotal role in reshaping warfare, naval combat, fortification strategy, and military engineering throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Whether used in active battle, training, or coastal defense, artillery projectiles such as this embody the raw force of early black-powder warfare and the technological advancements that defined a transformative era in world history.

Condition

This piece remains in excellent, stable aged condition, exhibiting deep oxidization, surface pitting, and a richly developed patina consistent with long-term historic exposure. The surface shows convincing wear suggestive of functional use while maintaining strong structural integrity. Overall, it presents as an authentic, atmospheric relic and displays beautifully.

Dimensions (Approximate)

Diameter: 3.5 in
Weight: 3 lbs 10 oz

Age

Likely 18th–19th Century
