I have a heck of a time identifying a small antique iron cannon I recently purchased.
Any help will be appreciated.
This is what I know. I purchased the cannon recently from an elderly woman who has had it in the family for over 40 years. Her father in law was in construction and unearthed the cannon while excavating land along the north shore of Long Island near Oyster Bay. This excavation was in preparation for constructing a high end residential development.
It is a small unmarked cannon, measuring only 18 3/8 inches long, weighing 53 pounds and having a 1 1/2 inch bore.
I have included more of the cannon at https://sites.google.com/site/mysteriouscannon/
If you have any ideas, please contact me at [email protected] or 512-284-7846.
Thank you for your help.
