Antique Iron Shot, Presumed Revolutionary War Era Jamaican bird with what I might guess

with what I might guess is cigar box wood for his arms and legs

It's been chilly here at night of late

is a math problem calculating the number of days a man was idle considering that he made $37

with wonderful details-- from the sailboat in the river

which I most definitely would be inclined to do

Antique Iron Shot, Presumed Revolutionary War Era Jamaican bird with what I might guessI found this old iron shot in Maine, and the irregularity of its shape, the lack of seam from casting, and the character of the surface suggests to me that it is Revolutionary War era. I think its pretty cool to have things around that connect one to the days of revolution, and also like that it looks a bit like a miniature rusty globe! Approx. 1 1 2" diameter, weighs 6 oz.
