This is an original Civil War cannon sponge bucket. The sponge was a long rod wrapped with cloth or lambskin at the end. It was used to clean the bore of the cannon before or between firing. The sponge would also serve to remove any debris that would interfere with the cannon's performance. The Civil War sponge bucket is in fair condition with moderate rust and deterioration of the bottom. A truly RARE piece of American history. The bucket measures 8" in diameter and is 11" tall.
