I remember as a kid going to Chattanooga , Ft.Donaldson , Stone Mountian and others the little cast cannons for sale .

Some of the earlier ones even had a touchhole :o

Nice find ! 8)

I bought a cannon souvenir at the USS Constitution in 1972 that had a touch hole but the bore and touch hole were filled with some kind of clear plastic.  Still have it somewhere.
