Artifact Condition: |
Artifact appears to be the wheel set for one side of an artillery cart. There is an additional interior disc-like component on the axle that may have been for a chain drive system. The wheels have seven spokes, consistent with artillery wagons of the 1920's & 30's era. |

Additional Information: |
Wheel sets like this were used on artillery carts in the Army's First Mobilized Artillery Battalion which was formed on Oahu in 1918 and used into the late 1930's. This artifact is located in between two dilapidated shipwrecks (SBB-12 & 13). |
