So, my FIL died just before Christmas and my MIL is getting rid of some of the things he collected through the years. One of which is an old and heavy cannon. He built a wooden base for it. She is getting me whatever information and pictures that she can. It currently is in Michigan.
I know Jack about cannons. I did a few google searches and my foo does not appear strong in this case. I am trying to understand if it's worth anything (which I doubt), I may just find out it's value if I can and just buy it from her and keep it. Right now this is all I know. Does this info make sense to anyone who is more knowledgeable about canons? I told her to send me detailed pics of any markings on it.
