Lot of 2 bronze musketballs, rare. 63.8 grams total, each ¾" in diameter. In all our years of dealing in treasure artifacts we have never seen musketballs made of bronze, but since they made cannonballs out of bronze on occasion, then the same material for these smaller balls must not be unique and probably served as "high end" ammunition for wealthy pistol-owners. One is cleaned and evenly brown in color, the other patinated as found, both perfectly intact. From the Capitana El Rubí and pedigreed to Art McKee's Sunken Treasure Museum, with certificate.
