TWO DANNER MUSEUM SOUVENIR “CANNONBALL LAMPS”.

TWO DANNER MUSEUM SOUVENIR “CANNONBALL LAMPS”. These lamps are made from Gettysburg found cannon projectiles; one from a 12-pounder spherical ball (probably “Boreman”) with three “feet” that are drilled into place to make a tripod base, over the fuse hole is braised with a brass lamp mechanism having lamp collar and fuel reservoir. The burner mechanism is missing but most any 19th Century replacement would suffice to complete the lamp if wanted. The second lamp is made from a 24-pounder spherical cannonball. This lamp made identically like the 12-pounder also missing burner is painted “Signal Gun./Round Top”. Both lamps of this type are shown in one Danner photograph from 1875 we have studied. PROVENANCE: Danner Museum. Willow’s Inn. CONDITION: Both objects retain some original black paint with overall rust and pitting. The brass collar on the 24-pounder is bent, otherwise both objects are sound and solid. White painted description on 24-pounder is chipped and parts missing but discernible as seen in photos. 7-70017 JS129 (2,000-4,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2012

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
