American Civil War era Williams "Cleaner" bullet, type III, use in .58 caliber rifle muskets. Bullet is made of lead with a zinc and hardened lead "plug" made up of a pin and single zinc disc attached at the bottom; the overall shape is shorter than other bullets from the same time period and the tip is completely rounded; this bullet is distinguishable from the other two types of "Cleaner" bullets both because of its uniquely rounded shape and the presence of only two grooved rings around the base were types I and II have three. There is some denting and scratching present across the surface of the object, the most notable being a dented/flattened section on the bottom base of the "plug"; there is also some white corrosion and rust-colored residue visible, this is considered to be a normal sign of aging in lead objects.
