Musket Ball Cluster Shot???

This is a new one to me.

I was removing encrustation on what I assumed was a grape shot. The shape was a little odd and a feared it may be in bad shape. Then I see the canvas bag top, neatly folded!!! Inside was 9 lead musket balls!

It is the diameter of a small grape shot. Check out the folds in the canvas top. Anyone seen these before? Swivel cannon shot

Really cool!

That is better than a grapeshot

Sorry Cornelius, let me be more clear. It is the diameter of the grape shot that I have found.

So was it meant to be used instead of a grapeshot?
