- Lot Description
North America, United States, ca. 19th century CE. A wonderful cast-iron cannon of a hefty yet maneuverable size made for use in the field, aboard naval vessels, or as a larger signaling device. The lengthy barrel has a pair of lateral adjustment lugs, a ball-ended butt cap, and a thick astragal just before the flared bore opening. The barrel is attached to a 20th century wooden cart via two riveted iron panels, and the iron axle rod still spins within the wooden axle. The pointed cart tail would drive into the ground when the cannon fired so it would not be jolted backwards, and a perforated tab just below the barrel enabled soldiers to easily dislodge the cannon and move it to its next location. Size (w/ cart): 40.75" L x 22.2" W x 9.6" H (103.5 cm x 56.4 cm x 24.4 cm); (barrel): 22.2" L (56.4 cm); (bore): 0.875" W (2.2 cm)
Provenance: private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection, acquired around 2005; ex-flea market collection, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
