He was one of the leading gunmakers of the area until about 1865 producing exceptional rifles and pistols as well as importing them and stamping them with his retailer mark. The 1850 census provides information that he had three of his sons living with him at the time who were all gunsmiths. Happoldt is also listed in Robert Gardner's Small Arms Makers, as a maker of Derringer and dueling pistols, percussion rifles, and shotguns, working in Charleston in 1853, at the corner of Meeting and Cumberland Streets. Happoldt died at age 81 in 1884.

- PAIR OF AMERICAN CIVIL WAR IRON CANNONBALLSNorth
PAIR OF AMERICAN CIVIL WAR IRON CANNONBALLSNorth America, United States, Civil War era, ca. 1861 to 1865 CE. A fine pair of cast-iron cannonballs made to be fired out of the barrel of a cannon at opposing soldiers. Each spherical projectile features a faded casting seam across the center that indicates it was formed via a bivalve mold. Bivalve molds allowed for faster production methods and a more consistent spherical form for each ball since shaping a solid mass of iron into a sphere is difficult to do by hand. Layers of age-commensurate oxidation cover the surfaces. Size of each (both are nearly identical): 3.05" Diameter (7.7 cm)
Provenance: private Brevard, North Carolina, USA collection
