Description

Replica Civil War Shell
"3.8 Inch James Shell"
"Type II"
"Union Army US Civil War"
"Siege of Vicksburg"
"May 19 – July 4, 1863"
I don't know anything about this, came third hand from an estate sale a long time ago.
Shell looks good, a magnet does not stick to this.
Is 7.75" tall.
I unscrewed shell from base and shell alone weigh 2.01 pounds.
Has some kind of other material in base that was used to capture the wood screw.
I nicked the top of the shell starting to try and unscrew the brass colored cap, that is the white spec you see.
That brass colored bit may be some kind of composite, not metal.
I see another white spot on the side of this and I think from research that this may be a resin / composite replica.
Great for display in any collection or museum.
I will ship it unscrewed as you see.
Could be touched up to look absolutely real.
If you like old, unique junk, please go into my eBay site and type a word like “knife”, “holster”, “gun”, “glass”, “women's” anything you are interested in, in the search box.
You will have fun browsing.
I have an 8x40 shipping container, 3 storage units, and a garage full of junk from the last 40+ years that I am trying to get rid of. I will eBay as much as possible in-between my search for a job (out of work).
The stuff I’m selling is used and has been in my storage for sometimes up to 40 plus years and will have dust, grease, dirt, and dirt dauber nests.
On Feedback: mine is set to "Automatic," so when positive feedback is given on a purchase, positive will automatically be left for the buyer.
Thank you for taking your time to look.
Shipping and Returns Information:
Disclaimer: I ship within 3 business days of cleared payment, and that was specified when this ad was created as my ‘handling time’ “Delivery in 2 Days”, IF shown on the ad in red, is generated by eBay shipping software that is way-overly optimistic, not me. Thank you for your understanding.
Postage charged is to cover actual postage, handling, packing materials, time, car & gas, and eBay postage fees.
Important, Shipments Outside the United States of America:
For international shipments the buyer must be aware of duty costs and is responsible for all duty costs.
Know your importation rules / taxes before purchasing.
Also, if an international bidder, please double-check shipping cost, because it will not be discounted. Priority-mail cost will be charged for first-class international packages in some cases to cover handling and above.
I do not offer international postage tracking. Since USPS cannot track some international packages, the Buyer will bear full responsibility for local post-office delivery of the package once it ships and agrees not to hold the Seller responsible for non-delivered packages. No refund of purchase price or postage will be given for an international package that is lost or not delivered.
Again, thank you for your understanding.
