  • Support - Looks good. Probably going to have more EV when your new article comes out. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:31, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. Given the day, I wanted to nominate this, but the EV is not there without the article...--Godot13 (talk) 23:47, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment — Looks as if it might have been intended to represent the turret of the USS Monitor, which contained two 11-inch Dahlgren guns — although other Civil War vessels also were armed with Dahlgrens — see USS Passaic (1862). The interest-bearing note was dated 1864; Monitor was lost at sea in 1862. Sca (talk) 21:36, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
