This is a forged iron gauge to check that cast cannon balls were of the proper diameter.

This gauge measures approximately 17.75” long overall, with 10” handle. This handle is forged of round iron stock doubled back upon itself to form a loop on one end connects to the ring portion at the other end.

The flat iron forming the ring is approximately 0.35” thick and 0.85” wide. It has an inside gauge diameter of approximately 5.6”. This would suggest that this is a gauge for a 24-pounder cannon ball.

Condition is fine with light surface rust. No markings.  [jet] [ph:L]

Weight - 2 lbs. 6 oz.
