Cheers,
I have had this cannonball for about 35 years. I found it in my parents’s backyard, as it had been buried for years. I spoke to a collector that had a shop about 20 years ago, and he thinks it had fallen off a train that had backed on to my parents’ yard. I’d like to think it had to do with the Riel Rebellion of 1885. Western Canada, Saskatoon , Saskatchewan. It’s diameter measured just under 5 inches, and further investigation gave it a weight of 18 pounds.
If anyone has any thoughts, I’d like to hear your thoughts.
