A few relics from time past.

The second bullet to the most right is so cool! Did the ramrod do that? The J-hooks are sweet finds as well :) HH
 
I've only ever found one or two those large bullets. Do you know what those L shaped things are down front?

Yes, Those are fired primers used to fire cannons. The long end is stuck in the torch hole and the short end has a wire sticking out of it. When the wire is pulled it shoots a flame down into the cannon setting off the powder......boom!
