In the top photo I see a Whitworth, CS Read & CS Braun, A big old 30lb parrott and a 10lb parrot, a canister round and it hard to tell what the one is next to the Whitworth but it appears to be a Dahlgren. I'm not sure about the pointed shinny one in front of the Whitworth but it looks post war.

Second photo big ole 30 canister round a Hotchkiss, stand of grape and some 12 & 6 lb ball with sabot and charge.

Could the mystery shell be possibly some type of Hotchkiss with what may be it's base cup to the right of the nose?

Now I can go back to the display table and not sound too stupid.
