They are indeed cracking finds, well done. Could someone explain how these things worked, was it a case of putting a little round cap in then releasing a trigger, or what??

Nice one want one

At the time these cannons were made gunpowder was sold loose for muzzle loading guns. A small measure of this gunpowder, a projectile (like a small bit of lead shot which was also sold loose), apply a light and BOOM. God knows how many kids were injured doing this ?? Found 4 of these cannons so far in various sizes and one looks like it blew up !!
