<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 475655, member: 54&quot;]My Lignum Vitae collection:&nbsp; Four cannon trucks (aka wheels) from a USN mid-19th C gun carriage.&nbsp; Dia:&nbsp; 14 in.&nbsp; Hole for axle:&nbsp; 6 in.&nbsp; Notice some red paint on one truck, probably from paint used on deck.&nbsp; Decks were painted red so blood shed in battle would be less shocking to crew.&nbsp; Item on left is a “deadeye” (holds standing rigging to hull) from HARTFORD of “Damn the Torpedoes” fame.&nbsp; The dark line-supporting surface, looks like a fist,&nbsp; is lignum vitae.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]160649[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
