FRACTURED US MODEL 1819 6-POUNDER “WALKING STICK” CANNON.

SN NSN. After the War of 1812 efforts to improve, simplify and standardize artillery pieces went into the simple elegant lines of the model 1819 6-pounder. McClurg & Wade in Pittsburgh delivered 74 of these cannon of which there are only 14 known survivors. Originally this tube would have measured 66” overall but this one exploded and the breech is now missing with only 46” remaining. This relic was once at Bannerman’s and later sold to the Eastover Resort in Lenox, MA where they had a wonderful display of American cannon. If this cannon could only talk and tell us how it was injured and why it wasn’t scrapped might make for some interesting research. PROVENANCE: Springfield Arsenal, LLC Artillery Collection. CONDITION: Pitted overall though US surcharge is discernible. Bore is clear, rusted and pitted. 4-54244 JS257 (8,000-10,000) – Lot 1395

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2014

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
