Ernie search  Cannons, 13 pages will come up.

Gunbroker has a lot more cannons  to look at after you get past  Bronzecannon stuff.  Remember  Bronze cannon is the Outfit that tried to stiff  Cannonmn a couple of years ago.  

I am surprised Cannon-Mania hasn't jumped on the auction board band wagon....they are the company who stiffed a bunch of folks here on the board a few years back.  I see they have changed their name and  moved to  GA...anybody see their new name.  Must be hiding from all the Connecticut Attorney General consumer affairs complaints.

That's sad they went that way. Cannon-mania was a really well laid out website. I used to drool over there cannons back when I first started searching for cannons on the Internet about 10 years ago. I only made one purchase which was the 24 pdr. Kit. It seems like they were only the middle man between the builders. Over selling what they could produce. I was wondering what happened to brasswithclass.com does anybody know?

Yeah, I see that Cannon Mania is now renamed Flash60 LLC, and I would tend to doubt that this was done because someone thought that 'Flash60 LLC' sounded more melodious.

wildj79,
That's another surprise, I haven't looked at the Canadian Cannon Co. site for quite a while either, now I can't find it; he must have closed up shop.
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

 That won't bring up everything you might want to see, and causes you to have to weed through listings from people who don't know how to spell a maker of  copier toner. On the other hand, using "canon" in a search often brings up BP cannons along with all the cameras. ;D

 Some words I use along with "cannon" are vintage, antique, signal, iron, bronze, etc. I occasionally even use "model" or "toy" and get BP cannons because some people listing them think they can avoid having their auctions deleted that way.

If I had nickle for every ebay auction deleted, I would have to buy a pair of suspenders.

Hear Hear, I sold sixty some with 100 percent feedback and had many deleted. Just random deletion. Sell 10 or 11 get a deletion. Repost, sell 10 and another deletion. They are cracking down though. Last time they actually suspended my account and told me if I reposted that they would remove my account indefinetly. Thinking of going to gunbroker, is it as reliable as ebay? As far as paypal and trusting a persons feedback?

Try using the following search term:

"cannon" -canon

That deletes all the photography stuff, unless they spelled it wrong in their listing.

You will typically find them pop up in antiques, collectables, outdoor sports, and vintage toys.
