Do you have a picture to help understand small and large? Bore diameter? Length? Weight? Wheeled? Material- cast iron? bronze? Home build? Age? Condition?
Thanks, Mike

I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on a cash cannon

Dollar or euro

Already got me one. 23" barrel with 1" bore, replica of a ships cannon.

Loaded a ball and fired it at 2' diameter pine tree once. Ball went all the way through the tree and buried itself about 8" into the pine behind it. I was impressed.

I think we all need to see a video of that!

Last time I attended Maine Professional Boatbuilders Show (a few years ago) there was a guy selling those there. Pretty cool item.

That would discourage uninvited guests! I wonder if one could pass as purely ornamental?

There’s a video on the web of this incident at Maine Maritime college
