Description
GETTYSBURG-MADE SOUVENIR PROJECTILES DESK DISPLAY
Rare early Gettysburg-made desk ornament, approx. 4 1/2" x 3" x 3", constructed of various Civil War relic projectiles, recovered from the Gettysburg battlefield. The display consists of a wooden base, upon which is mounted an approx. 2" x 2" iron shell fragment, upon which is secured a 1 1/2" diameter piece of canister shot. The artillery projectiles are flanked on each side by three spherical musket balls, and three Minie balls. The ornament was assembled at the end of the 19th century by Gettysburg resident, gunsmith, and craftsman Edward Woodward, who produced these displays for the tourist trade. Very good.
