    HESSIAN 3 POUNDER SOLID SHOT CANNONBALL, BATTLE OF TRENTON,1776
    This very rare excavatedHessian 3 pounder solid shot cannonball was found in the back yard of the Donald House on King Street where the Hessian Knyphausen Regiment had set up a pair of 3pounder cannons that were firing at the Americans.
    These cannons were disabled by Captain Alexander Hamilton’s battery & the Hessian cannons were captured by the Americans.
    It is about 2 13/16 diameter" &
    has light pitting with a dark brown patina.
    NOTE-I use a generic picture as I have several & all are in about the same condition so you may not get the one in the picture.
    It was found in the basement when the house was torn down in 1935 &
    is part of the Donald House Collection that has been passed down through the Donald family.
    It comes with a Donaldfamily collection letter & a certificate of authenticity.
