This miniature mortar was made from Confederate bullets that were fired at Union troops at Fort Hell, otherwise known as Fort Sedgwick, Petersburg, Virginia. The mortar is made in two sections; the carriage is 4 inches long and 2.5 wide. The sides, are engraved with a fancy border. The left side is engraved, “From Dan to Uncle Ben.” The right side bears the legend, “Made from Rebel Bullets fired into Fort Hell, Va.” The barrel has an eagle engraved over a wreath, and the glory above. I do not know who made it (could be the gent mentioned below), or who “Dan” is. The new article in the North South Trader Magazine, has an article on these miniature mortars, and makes mention on one of the men who did make these, his name being William P. Hawkins, 7th Rhode Island Infantry. This mortar comes with copies from his diary stating “I am making toy lead mortar and shells for the officer’s. Make them of Confederate bullets which are gathered at the slope of our works…..” (see photo section for more info.) One that Hawkins made for an officer weighed 25 Ibs using 300 bullets. “Peace Commissioner” was the soldiers name for this artillery piece, perhaps their idea being a bit different than that known at the Hampton Roads Conference. The Hampton Roads Conference was a peace conference held between the United States and representatives of the Confederacy, on February 3, 1865, aboard the steamboat River Queen in Hampton Roads, Va. to discuss terms to end the the Rebellion. Being made of lead, this does show some wear, but all the work done upon it is visible. I think this is one of the most interesting and rare soldier made souvenirs of the war that I have seen. Not quite “spears to plow shears,” but something akin to that. First one I’ve had the chance to own.
Success as a barber is all about the final impression — those close-up details that keep clients coming back to your chair. That’s why we’re proud to unveil the Wahl 5 Star Vanish Shaver.
With our first independent suspension cutting system to hug every neck and facial contour, and micro thin gold foils, you’re ensured a clean finish and a smooth shave without bumps or irritation. The 5 Star Vanish features individual pop-out foil cartridges that can be easily replaced or rotated, which means you can cut costs by replacing single foils instead of the whole shaver head.
With a premium lithium-ion battery that packs 100+ minutes of power on a single charge, a smart LED fuel gauge, rest assured that your new favourite shaver is always at the ready.
The 5 Star Vanish is ergonomically designed with finger grips for comfort and confidence through every finish. For pros on the go, the Travel Lock option keeps the 5 Star Vanish from accidentally turning on and draining power.
Looking for a reason to upgrade your shaver game? The 5 Star Vanish is it. While it makes hair disappear, it will provide the finish everyone wants to see.

Featuring new independent pop-out foil bars. Save time and money in maintenance by replacing single foils instead of full shaver heads.
