c. 1775 Revolutionary War Era Large Size Bullet Ladle
c. 1775 Revolutionary War Era, Ladle for Pouring Lead Bullets, Very Fine.
A rare and unusual design type, original Revolutionary War Era, blacksmith made Bullet Ladle for pouring molten lead. It measures 10.5” long overall, with a 3.75” long wooden handle that has now a split over time. This Ladle is said to have been from the collection of the noted Revolutionary War Author, Frank Kravic. It was used to heat the lead over a fire and then to pour the molten lead into the bullet mold to produce ammunition. There are 3 spouts at the spoon-end, used to pour out the lead. Rough original patina, appears to have never been cleaned and is nice for a period military display.
