RARE REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA ARTILLERY SEARCHER

This extremely rare Revolutionary War artifact was used to check the inside of artillery pieces for cracks. If caught in a crack, the "reliever" (retractor ring) would be pushed down to compress the prongs and release them from the snag. It is housed in a museum-quality display case measuring 10" x 16" x 5 1/2" and is surrounded by an attractive frame. The case top is removable for easy access to the piece. A small plaque identifies the item. This is an opportunity to own an original and distinctive relic from Colonial times that is already prepared for display.
