These are from my dad's collection. I'm pricing them based on recent sold auctions on various sites. If you don't like the price, feel free to make an offer. These prices are just for the shell, not including shipping. Because of the weight they would be shipped in a USPS medium flat rate box, so shipping for all of these (unless you buy multiple shells) is $15.50.

James bolt - I have the original auction page for this one and it says it's a 3.67" James bolt and it was found in the 70s on private property near the Manassas battlefield. It's 7 inches long and weighs 11.6lbs. I'm asking $800.
3" Federal Schenkl (the pictures with shot). I also have the original auction page for this one and it says it was dug in the area of the Union march from Fort Morgan to Spanish Fort Alabama. It's disarmed (all are) and has the original shot, pieces of the lower zinc band which it says has some cotton still attached, and the fuse which no longer screws in. It's 9 inches long, 2.92 inches diameter, and weighs 7.4lbs. I'm asking $350.
3" Schenkl. I don't have an info specific to this one. It's in really good condition, especially the fuse. It's about 9 1/16 inches long, 2.9 inches diameter, and weighs 7.4lbs. I'm asking $350.
3" Hotchkiss shell. I'm not sure exactly what type. It's 6 3/4 inches to 7 inches long, and weighs 8.698lbs. I'm asking $250
I believe this is a Federal 10lb Parrot because it has no lathe marking and the base looks like it has "pre-rifling". It's 8 5/8 inches long, 2.856 inches diameter, and weighs 8.4lbs. I haven't found any shells for comparison so I'm not sure if I want to sell this one yet, but you could make an offer if you want.
3" Confederate Read shell. It's 7 1/2" long, 2.9 inches diameter, and weighs 7.8lb. I'm asking $350
6lb (I think, it's half the 12, so must be) Bormann. It's drilled where it was disarmed. I've got some idea what they're going for, but haven't found any recent auctions to compare to so make an offer if interested.
12lb Bormann. I don't see any way it was disarmed, but I don't think he'd have it if it wasn't. Again I haven't seen any recent auctions, but have an idea so make an offer if interested.
I've got another split Hotchkiss, which has an interesting back story and another 12lb Bormann with the fuse removed and shot, but I don't have either pictured yet.
