                             A late 18th century advertisement offering glazed or un-glazed 
                                         casks of gunpowder for "those who sell again".

  The quarries around Cork would have used large amounts of gunpowder for blasting but                      gunmakers would have also been good clients to the likes of Mr Joseph Harris Junior.

We are always interested in any early advertising related to any aspect of the Irish guntrade.
