Six shells in two days

[Ethan S.]

I had a blast at the Spring Gettysburg show this past weekend, and was able to get some nice pieces of iron, along with other things for my WWII collection. From left to right in the back row: Ground Burst Hotchkiss shell and base cup from North of the Wheatfield, Gettysburg (repaired), Hotchkiss nose from Bermuda Hundred Virginia, 10 Pounder Parrot from Petersburg Virginia, Read shell from James Island South Carolina, and 12 pounder wood plug Boremann from the Wilderness. On the bottom row, there is a Schenkyl from Petersburg Virginia.


All in all, an artillery collection overnight! Just need several hundred more to rival the late and great Tom Dickey.

Nice additions but being I have been to Toms house and seen his collection, it would be more near a 1000 +.

I'd love to know what kind of shelving he had to hold all of that weight.

It was big ones on the bottom, small ones on the top. Just google his collection.

Well done my friend, they are just like peanuts; you can't have just one.
