    Description

    12# Canister Bottom base plate.Produced by the Federal Ordnance Department, this artillery round is referred to as a Civil War twelve-pound canister. In rebuilt condition and made up of all original components, this cylindrical, heavy artillery smoothbore round is filled with twenty-seven 1½” diameter iron balls arranged in four horizontal layers of six balls with three balls vertically at the center.
    Most often fired from the bronze Napoleon 12-pounder smoothbore heavy cannon, the canister round was broken by the gun’s discharge and the projectiles spread out into a cone pattern that was very effective against enemy infantry. Total length of the canister round measures 5.6” high with a 4.25” diameter. This  bottom base plate has the cupped indentions that are very desired. From the Port Hudson area.
    REBUILT 12# Canister is for display purposes only..NOT FOR SALE.
