Rare American Collier Shot Tower St. Louis Leaded Glass Advertising Display steuban Circa 1700/circa 1900 restorationDETAILS Antique miniature, leaded glass, drop shot display tower statue or paperweight. The turreted tower holds a display of graduated shots ranging in sizes from 00 to 13. Perhaps was designed as a salesman's sample or advertising model. Shot towers are used to manufacture drop shot ammunition where molten lead is dropped from the top of a tower and solidifies into spheres as it falls to a water basin below.
