Selling my antique signal cannon. I believe it to be made late 1800s. It's been a centerpiece in my living room for many years, but I'm moving.

The cannon is a nice size, about 32" long x 15" wide. Barrel is 20". Weight? Heavy AF. Maybe 80 pounds or more.

$500 OBO, Westchester area.

** It can't fire a projectile. Please don't fire a projectile. It's a signal cannon. It makes noise.

Best the experts can tell it's a Victorian era cast iron signal cannon, maybe 100 - 120 years old. I've only found one other like it in all the time I looked, and it's much smaller.

The auction house is of a view it will go for quite a bit more than I asked here, so you guys missed your chance!
