MR 116 Billy dug this nice acorn tipped brass finial from a bed post on the Port Hudson Battlefield at Slaughter Plantation, which opened up on Slaughter Field where advancing Union troops were shot to pieces by Confederate Artillery using deadly canister rounds.
Slaughter Field was aptly named for the carnage that took place there.
Price: $45.00

MS 117 This is a neat piece, it appears to be a fishing weight made by a soldier at

and some from lead canister. Bullet used to display it not included.
Cool relic of a soldier’s handy work. $20.00

soldier making bullets poured lead down a crawfish hole and this

result. Billy Spedale found it 115 years later in 1978. It is
featured in his
book “Where Bugles called and Rifles Gleamed” on page
103.
