Good info here

http://www.relicman.com/artillery/Artillery5000-Read.html

With the base missing it's difficult to tell exactly which one it is but there's enough info on this site one could probably figure it out.

Cool indeed.

Those were most likely pendulum detuners.
Short little video that may explain where and why you might see them.



There's a few designs.

That is called a lead "pig". It was used in a Mallinckrodt Technetium 99m generator. I have taken apart many hundreds of them and sold the lead for scrap. Still have one somewhere at home. I think that it is about 30 lbs.

The lead attenuated the radiation from the small amount of Molybdenum 99 which decays to Technetium 99m which is used for diagnostic nuclear medicine exams

Blackpowder charges can stay explosive for over a century if it's sealed well enough. In about 1900 somebody found a War of 1812 gunboat cannon and salvaged it from the river in New York City. It sat in a park on a stand for over 100 years overlooking the river. A few years ago, they were going to restore and re-paint it, and found out it was still loaded. The powder they extracted was still good.
