Location Recovered: James River defenses

Description:Beautiful stand of grape for 32pdr cannon. Professionally restored by pinning the shot together in 3 donut layers and reattaching the center bar almost invisibly. To top it off, the base has Mac Mason's distinctive writing on it which notes that this was recovered along the James River.

This would have been originally wrapped in canvas and heavy duty twine giving it a look of a bunch of grapes (hence the name "stand of grape") Obviously the canvas has long since rotted away and forcing us to have to re-secure the shot with pins.

I am hesitant to ship this and so would greatly prefer to deliver it at an upcoming show.
