Likely part of a quilted grape projectile stand . Constructed with a base plate and an attached center post, quilted grape shot were stacked in layers around the post and a with a canvas bag stitched around to keep its shape. Most stands consisted of 3 layers with 5 or 6 shot per layer. Depending on the bore diameter, typical Civil War grape shot was as small as 2 inches and as large as 4.5 inches. Finishes vary on these from lightly pitted to fairly clean. From the David Hopper collection. Please see photos
