Dug up a cannon

[mojjax]

It was about 4'' deep . I found the lighter in the same area . The cannon says ''Made in Italy'' on the bottom . I'm not sure what the spring thing is all about .

Very neat find, WTG!!!
My father had a small connon when I was a kid that actually worked (fired)... You would fill, well maybe not fill, but put sulfur in the barrel and I believe the one he had had a similar device on the end, spring loaded, and you would place a cap inside, pull a plunger back and let it go to fire it...
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~

Ooop's,,, Very neat lighter too...

Normally you would load with matchsticks & fire them at the toy soldiers to knock them down.

If you didn't knock them down, you would at least burn them out. Way to go on a neat find!
