FINE BRONZE 28″ “STRONG” YACHT CANNON ON ORIGINAL MAHOGANY CARRIAGE.

SN NSN. This is a fine example of a large 1-1/2″ bore “Strong patent” breechloader, circa 1890, on its orig mahogany carriage with two rare orig brass cartridges, and rare loading & capping tools. Markings are especially crisp & well-discerned with a central device of an American eagle with “L.T. SNOW. / THE ‘STRONG’ CANNON. / -M’F’R-” & “NEW HAVEN, CONN. / U.S.A.” surrounding eagle. Cannon appears fully functional, mechanism works well. This would be a difficult cannon to ever upgrade. Consigner’s company has a large supply of aluminum 40mm “baton” cartridge cases which will work in this gun with very minor modification, if purchaser is interested. PROVENANCE: Springfield Arsenal, LLC Artillery Collection. CONDITION: Gun & carriage measure about 37″ overall, tube with firing mechanism is about 30″. This gun originally cataloged by the company as 28″ bbl with a dismounted weight of 106 lbs. Bbl has fine bronze patina as do bronze mountings on polished mahogany carriage. Accompanying accessories are also very good. 4-54170 (12,000-15,000) – Lot 2100
