A0753     Dyer shell, "common" (standard), rounded nose, lead cup sabot, without flame grooves, Schenkl rounded head percussion fuse early pattern, Ordnance rifle, 3in. Projectile was manufactured in the Federal arsenals following the invention of Alexander Dyer.  The sabot system utilized was an expanding lead cup around the base  This pattern features the sabot with a concave bottom, and a groove around the top, no flame grooves were cut into the sabot, this came later.  Nose of the shell is rounded, the sabot on this early pattern has iron straps imbedded on the bottom, probably to secure the powder bag.  Some of these shells were configured as case shot (approx 10lbs to 11lbs. with balls ), or as "common" (approx 8lbs. to 9lbs. without balls).  This shell is a "common" shell, (standard), it does not contain balls, and with a percussion fuse it was designed to detonate after striking enemy cannon or equipment.  Fuse employed was a Schenkl brass percussion fuse, early version with rounded flange, Jones pg. 98 lower right.  Shell measures: diameter 2.94in., length 7in. (excluding fuse), weight 10lbs.  This shell could contain case shot balls, based on its heavy weight, however this would be unexpected with a percussion fuse in this pattern.  Recovered: Atlanta campaign, why this early shell is found in a late campaign is a mystery.  Lead cup sabot is unfired.  Metal quality is strong, percussion fuse intact, unfired sabot intact with remnants of iron straps, shell is disarmed by drill hole through the side. Ref: Dickey & George, Field Artillery (1993 Edition), pg. 144.       $375.

A0897     Mullane shell, long pattern with bourrelet rings, copper disc sabot with studs in the sabot, Confederate percussion fuse, Confederate Brooke rifle, 6.4 in.  This design, employing disc sabot attached using studs, is attributed to Mullane, period literature also referred to it as the "Tennessee" sabot.  This is the tall pattern shell with bourrelet rings, pointed nose, sabot is heavy copper disc, with studs in the disc, "type II".   Shell is threaded for a Confederate percussion fuse, (Jones pg. 52 and sequence)   Metal quality is solid and stable, moderate pitting, fuse is missing but threaded sleeve intact.   Recovered: Charleston, South Carolina. defenses   Shell measures: diameter 6.3in., length 12.5in., weight 60lbs.    Ref:  Kerksis & Dickey pg.136,  Ref: Bell Heavy Ordnance, not listed (see pg. 429 for similar pattern 7 inch caliber)   $1,500.

A1093     Parrott time fuse, flat flange. Zinc fuse, paper was ignited from firing, this flange or lip was added to prevent gas leaks around the fuse threads.  Fuse has a flat squared flange and is marked "W" for West Point.(mark not visible on this example).  Fuse generally intended for Parrotts, usually larger caliber.   Fuse is corroded but intact, will make good display of scarce fuse as is or can be cleaned and fitted for a shell.  Recovered: not known.  Length 2.5 in. diameter 1.1 in., flange diameter 1.3 in.   Ref: Jones Fuses pg. 77 upper right.       $35.

A1644     Mullane shell, long pattern with bourrelet rings, copper disc sabot with studs in the sabot, Archer percussion fuse, Confederate Brooke rifle, 7 in.     This design, employing disc sabot attached using studs, is attributed to Mullane, period literature also referred to it as the "Tennessee" sabot. This is the tall pattern with bourrelet rings, pointed nose, sabot is heavy copper disc, with studs in the disc, "type II" .  This was part of a cache of shells recovered from a site near the 1865 battle involving the  CSS "Richmond" which after running aground, apparently discharged a number of these heavy shells to lighten its load to escape.  Shell used threaded Archer percussion fuse, (Jones pg. 62).  Metal is solid with minor pitting, unfired sabot fully intact, fuse is removable, rare shell in top condition.  Recovered: Trent's Reach, James River, Virginia.  Shell measures: diameter 6.95in., length 16in., weight 100 lbs.   Ref: Bell Heavy Ordnance, pg. 429.   $3,500.

A1645     Brooke bolt, long pattern with bourrelet rings and flat nose, ratchet disc sabot, Confederate Brooke rifle, 7 in. Brooke developed a system of ratcheting to secure the sabot.  This is the heaviest of the bolts, the nearly flat nose was designed to direct maximum energy against iron plating without deflecting.  This is the tallest of the bolts and employed bourrelet rings, the heavy disc sabot is attached with a center bolt, the ratchets were designed to keep it from rotating. This was part of a cache of shells recovered from a site near the 1865 battle involving the  CSS "Richmond" which after running aground, apparently discharged a number of these heavy shells to lighten its load to escape.  Metal quality is solid, minor pitting, unfired sabot fully intact, rare shell in top condition.  Recovered: Trent's Reach, James River, Virginia.  Shell measures: diameter 6.95in., length14in., weight 120lbs.   Ref: Bell Heavy Ordnance, pg. 182.    $3,000.

A1646     Brooke bolt, smooth sides blunt nose, mill base sabot, Confederate Brooke rifle, 7 in. This was an early design by Brooke to develop a secure sabot system, this sabot was simply milled out of the bottom of the cast bolt, few were manufactured in this manner.  This bolt has smooth sides and the nearly flat nose was designed to direct maximum energy against iron plating without deflecting. Shell is marked "S" on the bottom. This was part of a cache of shells recovered from a site near the 1865 battle involving the  CSS "Richmond" which after running aground, apparently discharged a number of these heavy shells to lighten its load to escape.  Metal quality is solid, minor pitting, unfired sabot fully intact, rare shell in top condition.  Recovered: Trent's Reach, James River, Virginia.  Shell measures: diameter 6.9in., length 12.5in., weight 120lbs.   Ref: Bell Heavy Ordnance, pg. 177.      $4,000.

A1648     Read bolt, short tear drop, wrought iron sabot, rifled 32 pounder rifle, 6.4 in. This Confederate design, employing a relatively light wrought iron sabot is attributed to Read, although all recoveries are from the Mississippi campaigns and it was likely manufactured at Selma.  The short tear drop design was used with limited success, and was intended to be used in the old 32 pounders that had been converted to rifle.  Metal quality is solid, with light pitting, fired sabot intact, this shell has a prominent casting sprue in the base that was not milled.   Recovered: Mississippi defenses.  Shell measures: diameter 6.4in., length 9in., weight 45lbs. Ref: Bell Heavy Ordnance, pg. 343.    $2,000.

A1739     Parrott zinc time fuse, with rounded flange. Zinc fuse, paper was ignited from firing. This lip was added later in the war as an improvement. A leather washer was fitted around the lip and this would prevent the flame from traveling down the rifling, causing premature detonations. Fuse generally intended for Parrotts produced later in the war, generally case shot.   Threads can be cleaned, good display or can be used.  Length 1.76 in., Diameter 1.12 in. Flange diameter 1.33 in.  Ref: Jones Fuses pg. 77, upper left.     $30.

A1754     Mullane shell, long pattern with bourrelet rings, copper disc sabot with studs in the sabot, Confederate percussion fuse, Confederate Brooke rifle, 6.4 in. This design, employing disc sabot attached using studs, is attributed to Mullane, period literature also referred to it as the "Tennessee" sabot.  This is the tall pattern shell with bourrelet rings, pointed nose, sabot is heavy copper disc, with studs in the disc, "type II".   Shell is threaded for a Confederate percussion fuse, (Jones pg. 52 and sequence)   Metal quality is solid and stable, moderate pitting, fuse is missing but threaded sleeve intact.   Recovered: Charleston, South Carolina. defenses   Shell measures: diameter 6.3in., length 12.5in., weight 60lbs.    Ref:  Kerksis & Dickey pg.136,  Ref: Bell Heavy Ordnance, not listed (see pg. 429 for similar pattern 7 inch caliber)    $1,500.

A1756     Brooke shell, smooth sides, ratchet ring sabot, Confederate percussion fuse, Confederate Brooke rifle, 7 in. Brooke developed a system of ratcheting to secure the sabot.  Shell is smooth sided and relatively short, this early design was likely originally intended for the rifled 42 pounders, but that system was quickly abandoned for the heavier 7 inch long guns.  The disc sabot is a ring sabot with ratchets, performance was unsatisfactory, the sabot would typically be thrown or base would chip, and development moved to the heavy disc sabot.  Sides of shell are smooth, appearance of a sleeve depends on the degree of milling near the nose.   Shell is threaded for a Confederate percussion fuse, (Jones pg. 52 and sequence).   Metal quality is solid and stable, light pitting, fuse is missing but threaded sleeve intact, fired sabot is partial showing 7 lands & grooves, rare shell in outstanding condition.  Recovered: James River Virginia defenses.  Shell measures:  diameter 6.9in., length 14.5in., weight 95lbs.   Ref: Bell Heavy Ordnance, pg. 192.    $3,000.

A1814     Canister plate, 12 pounder. Plates from 12 pounder canister, plate shows distortion from firing. Recovered: Vicksburg.  Diameter 4.4 in.  Canister plate.         $75.

A1897     Read smooth long shell, wrought iron sabot, wood time fuse, Confederate rifle, 2.9 in.   Wrought iron sabot was cast much thinner than the Federal counterpart, tall smooth side copied from Federal patterns, lathe dimple in the base. Cast for wood time fuse.  Wrought iron sabot intact, wood time fuse is intact, metal solid with light to moderate pitting, rare to get a fuse this good.  Recovered: not known.  Diameter 2.86 in., length 8.75 in.   Ref: D & G pg. 243.       $350.

A2009     Mullane bourreleted short nose shell, Type I copper sabot flush mounted, wood fuse, Confederate rifle, 3 in.  Bourreleted Mullane shell. Shell is often rough cast with poor quality metal. Length of nose varies considerably and is partly the result of how much the nose was milled to accommodate the wood fuse. Type I sabot is copper disc held in place by three studs cast into the shell, held by a short center bolt, copper sabot was fastened flush with the bottom. Performance of this shell was unsatisfactory, typically the sabot flew off on firing. Cast for a wood fuse. Wood fuse, partially intact along with all three studs, center bolt and sabot with rifling partly bent up from firing. Recovered: Richmond, Va.  Diameter 2.94 in., length 8.0 in. (6.5 in exclude bolt & studs) Ref: D & G pg. 203.          $650.

A2057     Ball, thick walled shell, wood fuse, Confederate modified, 9 in. The Confederates were not known to have had any 9 inch guns and the Federals would not have any reason to use these shells in their Naval Dahlgren guns without the watercap fuse. However a number of these wood fused 9 inch balls have been recovered from the trenches at Port Hudson, all missing the fuses.  Research suggests that the Confederates captured a supply of these Federal Dahlgren shells, removed the watercap fuse, installed a wood fuse which could be lit by hand, and then used them as a sort of very heavy hand grenade or modified land mine by rolling them over the parapets against the attaching troops at Port Hudson using a wooden shut.  Cast for a wood fuse, which is missing.  Wood fuse missing, metal solid, moderate pitting.  Recovered: Port Hudson, Louisiana.  Diameter 8.9 in., weight 70 lbs. Ref: Bell Heavy Ordnance, pg. 61.         $300.

A2059     Ball, shell, thick walled, Navy watercap time fuse 1861, Federal Dahlgren, 9 in. The 9 inch Dahlgren was a heavy smoothbore gun designed for the Federal river gunships.   Federal Navy watercap fuse, "ORD. D  (anchor) / 1861", (Jones pg. 10).   Metal is solid with light pitting on top, moderate pitting on the bottom, watercap fuse is intact and has not been removed, date readable.   Recovered: Port Hudson, Louisiana.  Shell measures: diameter 8.9in., weight 70lbs.   Ref: Bell Heavy Ordnance, pg. 61.     $700.

A2060      Hotchkiss shell, "common" (standard), no flame grooves, lead band sabot, Hotchkiss percussion fuse, Ordnance rifle, 3in. Projectile was manufactured in the Federal arsenals following the invention of Andrew Hotchkiss.  The pattern consisted of three parts, a nose section containing the explosive charge, a cast iron cup fitted on the bottom, and lead band sabot cast around the middle, on firing the cup would compress the lead band sabot expanding it into the rifling.  Some of these shells were configured as case shot, filled with balls, or as "common", without balls.  This shell is a "common" shell, (standard), it does not contain balls, and with a percussion fuse it was designed to detonate after striking enemy cannon or equipment.  The nose section is pointed, containing an open cavity for the explosive charge only, without a separator bolt.  Nose section contains a plugged hole centered on the bottom, presumably this hole was used to secure the core on casting, then a plug was installed to seal the bottom.  Shell does not have flame grooves, these were not needed when a percussion fuse was used.  Hotchkiss patent date was cast (not stamped) into the base, "HOTCHKISS PATENT OCTOBER 9, 1855", and is typically weak.  Fuse employed was a Hotchkiss percussion fuse, cap secured by a single slot tightening groove, with flange, Jones pg 94.  Shell measures: diameter 2.9in., length 6.25in. sabot compressed from firing, excluding fuse, weight 8.2lbs.  Recovered: Port Hudson, Louisiana.  Lead band sabot shows seven lands and grooves, fired from the Ordnance rifle.  Metal is solid, percussion fuse intact, fired sabot intact, shell is disarmed by drill hole through the side. Ref: Dickey & George, Field Artillery (1993 Edition), pg. 166.     $300.

A2075     Parrott bolt, "chill nose", narrow ring brass sabot, Parrott 20 pounder rifle, 3.67in. Projectile was manufactured in the Federal arsenals following the invention of Robert Parrott.  The sabot system utilized was a narrow brass ring secured to the base with internal rabbets, referred to as "type III", more flexible than wrought iron and more narrow than the high band, this took the rifling much better than the earlier designs.  Shell is solid casting, or "bolt" and was designed to be used against opposing cannon by striking the equipment, use of this light bolt had limited applicability and is relatively scarce in the smaller calibers.  The blunt nose of this bolt was hardened by "chilling", a process of rapid cooling after casting, and was tapered to a smaller diameter in order to concentrate the force on impact.  Bottom of shell usually shows a casting sprue which was rough milled.  Shell measures: diameter 3.62 in., length 8.75 in., weight 19 lbs.  Recovered: Port Hudson, Louisiana.  Low band brass sabot shows five lands and grooves, fired from a Parrott rifle.  Metal is solid, sabot intact. Ref: Dickey & George, Field Artillery (1993 Edition), pg. 230.   $225.

A2077     Parrott bolt, "chill nose", narrow ring brass sabot, Parrott 20 pounder rifle, 3.67in. Projectile was manufactured in the Federal arsenals following the invention of Robert Parrott.  The sabot system utilized was a narrow brass ring secured to the base with internal rabbets, referred to as "type III", more flexible than wrought iron and more narrow than the high band, this took the rifling much better than the earlier designs.  Shell is solid casting, or "bolt" and was designed to be used against opposing cannon by striking the equipment, use of this light bolt had limited applicability and is relatively scarce in the smaller calibers.  The blunt nose of this bolt was hardened by "chilling", a process of rapid cooling after casting, and was tapered to a smaller diameter in order to concentrate the force on impact.  Bottom of shell usually shows a casting sprue which was rough milled.  Shell measures: diameter 3.62 in., length 8.75 in., weight 19 lbs.  Recovered: Port Hudson, Louisiana.  Low band brass sabot shows five lands and grooves, fired from a Parrott rifle.  Metal is solid, sabot intact. Ref: Dickey & George, Field Artillery (1993 Edition), pg. 230.    $225.

A2078     Parrott bolt, "chill nose", narrow ring brass sabot, Parrott 20 pounder rifle, 3.67in. Projectile was manufactured in the Federal arsenals following the invention of Robert Parrott.  The sabot system utilized was a narrow brass ring secured to the base with internal rabbets, referred to as "type III", more flexible than wrought iron and more narrow than the high band, this took the rifling much better than the earlier designs.  Shell is solid casting, or "bolt" and was designed to be used against opposing cannon by striking the equipment, use of this light bolt had limited applicability and is relatively scarce in the smaller calibers.  The blunt nose of this bolt was hardened by "chilling", a process of rapid cooling after casting, and was tapered to a smaller diameter in order to concentrate the force on impact.  Bottom of shell usually shows a casting sprue which was rough milled.  Shell measures: diameter 3.62 in., length 8.75 in., weight 19 lbs.  Recovered: Port Hudson, Louisiana.  Low band brass sabot shows five lands and grooves, fired from a Parrott rifle.  Metal is solid, sabot intact. Ref: Dickey & George, Field Artillery (1993 Edition), pg. 230.     $225.

A2079     Parrott bolt, "chill nose", narrow ring brass sabot, Parrott 20 pounder rifle, 3.67in. Projectile was manufactured in the Federal arsenals following the invention of Robert Parrott.  The sabot system utilized was a narrow brass ring secured to the base with internal rabbets, referred to as "type III", more flexible than wrought iron and more narrow than the high band, this took the rifling much better than the earlier designs.  Shell is solid casting, or "bolt" and was designed to be used against opposing cannon by striking the equipment, use of this light bolt had limited applicability and is relatively scarce in the smaller calibers.  The blunt nose of this bolt was hardened by "chilling", a process of rapid cooling after casting, and was tapered to a smaller diameter in order to concentrate the force on impact.  Bottom of shell usually shows a casting sprue which was rough milled.  Shell measures: diameter 3.62 in., length 8.75 in., weight 19 lbs.  Recovered: Port Hudson, Louisiana.  Low band brass sabot shows five lands and grooves, fired from a Parrott rifle.  Metal is solid, sabot intact. Ref: Dickey & George, Field Artillery (1993 Edition), pg. 230.    $175.

A2093     Parrott shell, long pattern "common" (standard), wrought iron sabot, Parrott percussion fuse West Point Style, Parrott 20 pounder rifle, 3.67in. Projectile was manufactured in the Federal arsenals following the prewar invention of Robert Parrott and John Read working together.  The sabot system utilized was a wrought iron ring, referred to as the "Type I" sabot, which was pre-rifled with five flanges, because it was too stiff to take the rifling otherwise.  Some of these shells were configured as case shot, (approx. 17.5lbs to 19lbs. with balls, short, 9.25in.), or as "common" (approx 15lbs. to 17lbs. without balls, long 10.25in.).  This shell is a "common" shell, (standard), it does not contain balls, and with a percussion fuse it  was designed to detonate after striking enemy cannon or equipment.  Fuse employed was a Parrott zinc percussion fuse, "West Point" style two part fuse, (Jones pg. 79), edge of the fuse hole is milled thin.  Bottom of shell usually shows a casting sprue which was rough milled.  Shell measures: diameter 3.62in., length 10.25in. (excluding fuse), weight 14.9lbs.  Recovered: Port Hudson, Louisiana.  Wrought iron sabot shows five pre-rifled lands and grooves.  Metal is solid with some pitting, fuse is partial, sabot intact, shell has been disarmed by drill hole through the center section of the fuse. Ref: Dickey & George, Field Artillery (1993 Edition), pg. 219.   $200.

A2096     Read shell, smooth sided long "sleeved" pattern, pointed nose, copper ring sabot thick not milled,  wood time fuse, Confederate 20 pounder rifle, 3.67 in. Projectile was produced during the war at a Confederate foundry.  Read developed this copper ring sabot, it was more flexible than the earlier wrought iron sabot.  A smooth sided long shell was produced by both sides, this Confederate version is distinguished by a lathe dimple in the base, and a casting sprue on the nose.  The shell was lathe turned, a slightly deeper cut was made at the top and the bottom leaving the impression of a "sleeve" the depth and dimension will vary considerably and is likely the result of operator variation in the finishing process.  Copper ring sabot is tapered at the top and seated in a deep groove well inside of the iron base, ring was cast thick, this model was not milled and was not pre-rifled.  Fuse hole is smooth and tapered, to take a wood time fuse.  Metal is solid with moderate pitting, unfired heavy sabot intact, wood fuse missing.  Recovered: Port Hudson, Louisiana.   Shell measures: diameter 3.63in., length 10.25in., weight 16lbs.  Ref: Dickey & George, Field Artillery (1993 Edition), pg. 284.     $450.

A2103     Hotchkiss shell, "case shot", rounded nose, with flame grooves, lead band sabot, Hotchkiss brass time fuse, Ordnance rifle, 3in. Projectile was manufactured in the Federal arsenals following the invention of Andrew Hotchkiss.  The pattern consisted of three parts, a nose section containing the explosive charge, a cast iron cup fitted on the bottom, and lead band sabot cast around the middle, on firing the cup would compress the lead band sabot expanding it into the rifling.  Some of these shells were configured as case shot, filled with balls, or as "common", without balls.  This shell is "case shot", explosive charge with lead balls, and with a time fuse was designed to detonate above the heads of troops in the open field.  This pattern features a rounded nose designed to pack additional "case shot" balls, the fuse is brass and the balls are lead.  Three flame grooves added so that flame from firing would pass through the sabot and ignite the fuse.  Shell cavity is split into two parts, upper chamber contained iron balls, bottom chamber contained the explosive charge, on detonation a bolt would force the balls out the top of the shell.  On case shot shells, there is no bottom plug, but there is a small internal pin apparently holding the separator bolt in place.  Hotchkiss patent date was cast (not stamped) into the base, "HOTCHKISS PATENT OCTOBER 9, 1855", and is typically weak.  Fuse employed was a Hotchkiss brass time fuse, with slots and a flange, Jones pg. 87.  Shell measures: diameter 2.9in., length 7.0in unfired, excluding fuse, weight 8.9lbs.  Recovered: Allatoona Pass, Georgia.  Lead band sabot is unfired.  Metal solid, brass time fuse intact, unfired sabot intact, shell is disarmed by drill hole through the paper section of the time fuse. Ref: Dickey & George, Field Artillery (1993 Edition), pg. 167.     $325.

A2124     Parrott shell, long pattern "common" (standard), high band brass ring sabot, Parrott "improved one part" percussion fuse, Parrott 20 pounder rifle, 3.67in. Projectile was manufactured in the Federal arsenals following the invention of Robert Parrott.  The sabot system utilized was a thin wide brass band secured to the base with rabbets, referred to as "type II", more flexible than the earlier wrought iron design.  However performance was poor, the thin soft brass sabot either failed to take the rifling or had a tendency to separate on firing, resulting in shards of brass flying into the backs of the forward infantry.  Use in smaller caliber ordnance was generally abandoned in favor of the thicker type III narrow band sabot.  Some of these shells were configured as case shot, (approx. 17.5lbs to 19lbs. with balls, short, 9.25in.), or as "common" (approx 15lbs. to 17lbs. without balls, long 10.25in.).  This shell is a "common" shell, (standard), it does not contain balls, and with a percussion fuse it  was designed to detonate after striking enemy cannon or equipment.  Fuse employed was a Parrott zinc "improved" one part design, with a flange, (Jones, Fuses, pg. 81), edge of the fuse hole is milled flat.  Bottom of shell usually shows a casting sprue which was rough milled.  Shell measures: diameter 3.6in., length 10.25in. (excluding fuse), weight 16.5lbs., empty without fuse.  Recovered: surplus stocks.  High band sabot is unfired.  Metal is solid, fuse missing, sabot intact. Ref: Dickey & George, Field Artillery (1993 Edition), not listed,  sabot style shown for 30 pounder Bell pg. 278.      Sold.

A2132     Hotchkiss "standard" percussion fuse. Inside a slider was positioned with a percussion cap, intended to slam into the cap screwed into the top. Screwdriver slot for fastening.  Fuse generally intended for small caliber Hotchkiss.  Threads clean, good display or can be used.  Recovered: Richmond, Petersburg, Virginia campaign.  Length 2.3 in., Diameter 1 in. flange diameter 1.2 in.   Ref: Jones Fuses pg. 93.         $75.

A2134     Schenkl combination fuse, early pattern. This complex fuse was designed to have it both ways.  The section at the top rotated, exposing a channel along a diagonal line into the powder chamber.  The top of the fuse was marked for the time, with the longer the channel the longer burn time.  A striker with a percussion cap was on the  top, designed to detonate upon impact, or if this failed, the time fuse would eventually detonate the shell.   Fuse is from a blown shell, yet survived mostly intact, excellent illustration, this one is in better condition than most.  Recovered: Richmond, Petersburg, Virginia campaign.  Length 3.5 in. (with cap), flange diameter 1.6 in. diameter 1.1 in.   Ref: Jones Fuses pg. 104.         $100.

Shipping of artillery shells and my show schedule:
Shipping shells almost anywhere is not a problem.  UPS accepts packages up to 150 pounds, this will take care of most shells below 8 inch Parrotts and 13 inch round balls.  Heavier than that requires common carrier.  I charge shipping at estimated commercial cost.  I do attend most "national" shows (Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina).  I can deliver any shell to a show to be picked up at no charge.  Please understand that I only bring a small sampling of shells to sit on my table at a show, these things are heavy and I don't like to bring shells to a show unless they are making a one way trip.  So while I may have many shells on my webpage, I typically bring only a small sampling to most shows, otherwise I would need a tractor trailer truck to hall all this stuff.  So if you see a shell you want, please tell me you want it before I leave for a show, and I can bring it for you or work a layaway with final payment to be made at the show.
