Civil war breech cannon

Does anyone have any kind of info on this civil war breech cannon replica. I picked it up at a thrift store a few days ago. I literally have barely found any info on it. I believe it has some value but do not know what kind. Any info and value would be appreciated! Thanks!

@ Big7mag

Please go back and edit your photos to full image.... https://www.antiquers.com/threads/posting-a-thread-and-uploading-pictures.15990/

Also need measurements of the piece.

 

@AJefferson any idea of the value?

 

Nope sorry, just helping out with the photos. Some people do not like to click on links and for some it is just easier to see if the pictures is directly on the forum.

 

Well thank you! I thought I had it figured out but guess I didn’t!

 

Looks small - maybe a signal cannon. Spring will let you know for sure.

 

I have several small cannon replicas from visiting Civil War Battlefields over the years. This reminds me of them but probably an older or higher value one. Mine were in the $10 range.

 

Are yours cast iron? Someone offered me 350 for mine on another forum when I was asking question about it. I don’t know whether to take it or hold out in case it’s a pretty rare find .

 

Oh my. No. They are brass or cooper finished. Yours must be something special. @springfld.arsenal might know.

 

Sry never saw this when posted. Is that replica available? I collect that stuff!
