Exploded Bormann Time Fuze with Raised Star - Antietam
SOLD
Item: Exploded Bormann Time Fuze with Raised Star- Antietam
Construction: Lead and tin.
Condition: Fair, excavated. The condition of this excavated Bormann time fuze is mainly the result of the blast of the artillery shell it was once screwed into. Originally a half inch thick round disc with a diameter of approximately 1.6 inches.
Comments: The top of the disc would have had a series of hash marks and the numbers 1-5 representing the time in seconds the fuze would burn prior to explosion depending on which number was punched by the artilleryman. Note the raised star to the right of the fuze slot. This fuze was recovered from Antietam, MD as evidenced by the old attached tag. It will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War fuze, artillery, or general relic collection.
Recovered: Antietam, MD
