    Description

    You are bidding on the signal cannon as described in the listing title and as seen in the 12 photos. This canon does not shoot a projectile. Photos are a huge part of the item description which can describe and show this piece far better than I. Photos show and tell best. Please look over each photo carefully and use the ZOOM feature that is provided for you by clicking on the photo. Measures 14" long overall. Wheels sit 6" high. Canon barrel is 10" long. 8 3/4" wide from wheel axle end to wheel axel end. This cannon has been in our family camp since the 1940s. I am 59 years old and remember it for years. Story is an uncle or friend of the family fired it off many years ago before I was born. He ended up overloading with black powder and blew the bottom of the canon out (see photos) Very every and well constructed piece. Weighs over 13 lbs. Being sold as is. If there is an issue with the item that for some reason does not show in the photos I will let you know. See Condition Description above and see all photos which is best.
    Please ask any questions prior to bidding and I will be glad to help. Please do not ask me to end items early or to take a Best Offer unless it has been offered. If I wanted to sell short I would have done a Buy It Now or a Best Offer option. If the item is being sold as a BUY IT NOW it means I have the same price for the item in my shop. If it sells in my shop before it being sold on E-Bay it will be ended on E-Bay. We are a busy vintage/antique shop and it happens often so if your "watching" the item you may see it disappear.
    I take all my selling seriously so please contact me prior to posting negative feedback if unsatisfied. I am not an expert in any field so please ask questions or ask for more photos of a particular detail prior to bidding. I cannot satisfy an issue if I don’t know you have one and will make every effort necessary to resolve one if I am to blame.
