Description:Great 18th Century American Revolution Cannon - All Forged Iron - !

Circa 1770-85 This is a nice example of Revolutionary War Era. Hand/Saluting Cannon Powder Tester.

This style of cannon was used for the function of a Salute Cannon as well as to test black powder. It\'s also noted these cannons were used as a \"hand cannon\" placing a musket ball in the barrel and discharging at short range.

Found right here in Upstate NY at a recent Estate Sale.

Measures 5 3/4\" tall.

Has a typical Hexagon patten barrel.

Note the formation of the touch hole were a hot wire or wick would have ignited the charge.

Some expected pitting from age, overall a very good- example.

Weight is 5 lbs 2oz. As such we are suggesting using a medium flat rate box for shipping.

Please take a moment to click on the individual images for great details of the construction and original condition!

A fine Revolutionary War Artifact offered on a FIVE day sale!
