Historic Musket Ball Glass Honors America’s 250th Anniversary in 2026
America’s 250th anniversary in 2026 has inspired a unique collectible. BenShot, a Wisconsin-based company, has released a special rocks glass to mark the occasion. The glass features a historic musket ball imprint and is handcrafted by U.S. veterans.
The Musket Ball Rocks Glass holds 11 ounces and carries an embedded .69-cal. zinc musket ball. This matches the size of ammunition used in French Charleville muskets, the same weapons issued to the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. Each piece is carefully made by veterans in Wisconsin.
The limited-edition glass will be available ahead of the 2026 celebrations. Its design honours early American military history while supporting veteran artisans. The $25 price reflects its handmade quality and unique historical detail.
