Description

Round iron ball 4.5" diameter with a 3/8" hole drilled through the center. One end of hole has a 3/4" x 1/4" diameter recess, probably to seat the base of a rod or chain. This might be a cannonball, but is more likely a weight for a net, a heaving line, or a weight to assist in closing a gate, attached to a chain strung between the outer edge of the gate and the hingeing post. .
