Small iron cannonball ("1-1/4 pounder") for an "amusette" cannon, marked by finder with "CP" as from Crown Point, New York, French and Indian War-era (ca. 1759). 1 lb 1 oz, 2" in diameter. Solid and stable, with rusty brown color all over but not too much surface corrosion, smaller than the usual size found on land, the type of cannon that fired it known as an "amusette" and far more effective than the usual three-pounder. (For further information on this small cannon type, refer to the internet site of the Hesse Kassel Jaeger Korps, Amusettes as 18th Century Artillery with the Jaegers and other Light Infantry.)
Estimate: $100 - 150
