I am going to sell this reproduction 1862 Mouse Killer percussion. The only marking is Dixie Gun Works. NIB.

I can not find any that sold. Every state I checked showed they are legal to own and shoot, but illegal to set and leave unattended as a set gun.

Are they OK to sell here? Any idea of value?

I would suggest tying a heavy string to the safety pin, then tie it off to the back of the cannon. That you won’t lose the pin. Also tie a string to the “fly” and secure that. Otherwise you will be looking all over for that thing. :cool:
 
It is quite similar to the alarm gun that DgW sold previously.
The only reference I know of was someone sold one for $165 way back in January 2021. You can factor in inflation to get todays price for it.
Here is that one:

I saw an old undated auction where someone had one up for sale at $240 OBO. He said that the box was marked Made in Italy.
 
Back in the 70's there was a brick warehouse about 12 miles north of Boston that had neon signs in 3 windows saying TRAP GUNS SET.

The local lore said they were 12 gauge trap guns loaded with buckshot, and that the town's Fire Chief said if there's ever a fire -- you're on your own.

Then again, we never heard that it got robbed either............. :)
