Artillery Fuse

[Fullstock]

I found this fuse and a Burnside Carbine casing today. The fuse is in great shape, anyone know what type it is?

Nice find! Looks like a CS fuse to me, but I'm no expert. I'm sure one will chime in before long.

These are actually fuse plugs,most likely for a ball. They took paper fuses that would ignite when the cannon fired. Very nice dig for the collection
