Description:This is an adaptation of the Schenkl fuse with the booster cylinder shown in Jones book on page 100. It has a copper cylinder on the bottom as opposed to tin and the head stamp, "Schenkl NYW 1895 TFJ A.G." "NYW is for Navy Yard Washington and the date of 1895 shows that the highly effective fuse this was based on lived on well past the end of the Civil War.
This is the only one of this rare fuse I have ever had for sale.
