RARE US MODEL 1834 IRON 6-POUNDER CANNON DATED 1837 WITH PARTIAL ORIGINAL CARRIAGE.

SN 107. This is one of the last cannon made at Ft. Pitt Foundry. Muzzle face of cannon is inspected “J.W.R” (James Wolfe Ripley) and “107”. Left trunnion is dated 1837, right trunnion is marked “McW & Co. P.P.F.” for Ft. Pitt Foundry. There are only 10 surviving Ft. Pitt model 1834 iron 6-pounders of the 113 that were orig made between 1835-1838 listed by Olmstead. Our consignor describes this cannon with rare carriage as follows: The model 1831 is one of many developed between 1819 and 1862. Hazlett, Olmstead & Parks in their definitive text define these developments in the American 6-pounder. Distinguishing characteristics of this model and variation of 6-pounder are; average weight, 845 pounds; ornamental band on reinforce; decorative band separating the muzzle from the rest of the chase; rim bases, vertical centering of trunnions, and a single reinforce were other features. The cascabel has a horizontal hole of about 1/2″ dia. for bolting to the elevating screw “cage”. The bbl is in fine condition for an early cast iron piece, having many layers of old black paint which has protected the markings. This is the only surviving carriage of this type known. The rare bbl and extremely rare carriage together constitute a unique and extremely valuable piece of American history. PROVENANCE: William Evans, Cleveland, OH. Dennis Lowe, Port Matilda, PA 1984. Norm Flayderman, New Milford, CT 1985. Springfield Arsenal, LLC Artillery Collection. CONDITION: Heavy coats of paint over pitted iron. Cannon tube and carriage mounts, wood is heavily weathered with some charring. 4-54194 JS163 (10,000-12,000) – Lot 1397
