Excavated naval watercap fuse dated 1862 and in very good condition. This brass fuse is made of brass with flange on top, with threaded portion and tapered body.
This type of fuse was utilized by the US Navy for the big guns. Clearly stamped on the flange, “ORD [with anchor] 1862”. The screw-in top vent portion is missing. Very nice light green patina with yellow brass visible underneath. Small piece of quartz embedded on one side.
Recovered Jim Thomas on Maryland Heights which overlooks Harpers Ferry and was lined with artillery. [jet] [ph:L]
