Danner Museum 1 1/8”Canister Shot Recovered Gettysburg Battlefield. These small canister (approximately 1 1/8”)shot were picked up on The Gettysburg Battlefield by Joel Danner of Gettysburg, proprietor of the famed Danner Museum. The museum was one of the first to display relics from the battlefield. Danner items are extremely rare and very collectible. These were at The Danner Museum and later ended up in a a Pennsylvania GAR Hall. They were later discovered with other battlefield relics marked Danner.
