High density polyethylene. I use to sell this to manufactured home dealers back in the day. Had to clamp rings on to secure the fitting to keep it from leaking.

About 40 years ago (December 28, 1976), I drove from Atlanta to the civil war siege battlefield at Port Hudson LA, to go relic-digging with some friends. On that trip I dug a .36 Colt Navy revolver, whose brass backstrap was engraved "Capt. W.B. Seawell 7th La. H.A." (H.A. being the abbreviation for Heavy Artillery.) Research showed he was in command of a battery of Heavy Artillery cannons in the defenses of Port Hudson, on the Mississippi River side. When the Confederate Garrison was surrendered, Capt. Seawell and a CS cavalry officer put their revolvers, their swords, an 1855 Harpers Ferry Pistol-Carbine, and a solid-silver hilted fighting knife into a wooden rifle crate and buried it, to spare their weapons the dishonor of being handed over to the yankees. They were wrapped in Capt. Seawell's uniform coat. When I dug them up, I found bits of grey cloth stuck to them, along with a bunch of Louisiana State Seal buttons.

About 30 years later I came across this photo of the handsome young Captain Seawell at age 20 in his Confederate Artillery uniform.

Incredible find and photo. I marvel at how this hobby can be a direct link to the past, one item can open a door to send you down a road of revelations, I believe that gun and buttons were meant for you to find, someone who appreciates the history.

An original civil war photo, made in 1865, showing the interior of Fort Sumter, Charles SC, after the capture of that city by the yankees. The various huge artillery shells standing around the flagpole are unexploded yankee Parrott shells fired into the fort during the two-year-long bombardment by yankee Heavy Artillery cannons. The Confederates salvaged the gunpowder in those shells to re-use it against the yankees.
