Description: | Incomplete cast bronze toy cannon from a toy sailing ship. The cannon is missing part of the knop at the head of the barrel and one of the side projections or pins which would have attached it to a wooden wheeled carriage, like that illustrated in Bailey (1993), page 37, No.12. Toy cannons were complete working models of their larger counterparts and became popular in the 18th century and continued in use throughout the 19th century.
Bailey (1993) illustrates a similar example on page 37, No.2. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1700
