CUSTOM BRASS MUZZLELOADING SALE NO.SALUTE 114 CANNON serial #19. This is a qual- ity made brass salute cannon with a 22” long overall tube that has an about 1 1/8” diameter bore that is bright and rates excellent. The bore is about 18” in depth, the breech knob is threaded and is removable for ease of cleaning. The brass has an overall light ochre patina and a few light pits or small casting flaws scattered about. It remains unmarked with the exception of a small “19” stamped on the underside. The cannon is designed after 17th century 12 pound artillery piec- es and comes with an appropriately sized hardwood carriage. The carriage measures about 34” long with 19 1/2” diameter spoked wheels. Included are a combi- 1200 nation ramrod/wiper and five solid brass cannon balls. The balls would only serve as decoration to this piece as they are slightly oversized to the bore. A lovely example overall that would serve well as a signal cannon or conversational display piece. (48085-33) {ANTIQUE} (700/900) 1201. CAST IRON SALUTE CANNON This lot consists of a modern naval style cast iron signal cannon with carriage. Designed after the 17th century U.S. 24 pound series naval cannons, this example measures about 1201 27” overall with a 22” deep, lightly oxidized lined bore that measures about 1 1/4” in diameter.

The cannon is mounted to a sturdy, handmade naval style carriage that is weathered but intact with some minor drying cracks and minor oxidation to the metal parts. The front of the carriage has a small brass plaque which reads “U.S.S. Consti- tution”. A small amount of TLC would go a long way with this piece to bring it to its full potential. A small adjustable muzzle plug and elevation adjustment wedge are included. A very good condition modern signal cannon with local character. (48216-1) {ANTIQUE} (700/900) 1202.
