Need Help Identifying this Cannon

[bobhorger]

 I need help identifying this cannon.

This is what I know.  I purchased the cannon recently from an elderly woman who has had it in the family for over 40 years.  Her father in law was in construction and unearthed the cannon while excavating land along the north shore of Long Island near Oyster Bay. This excavation was in preparation for constructing a high end residential development.

It is a small unmarked cannon, measuring only 18 3/8 inches long, weighing 53 pounds and having a 1 1/2 inch bore.

I have included more photos of the cannon at https://sites.google.com/site/mysteriouscannon/

If you have any ideas, please contact me at bobmat@austin.rr.com or 512-284-7846.

Thank you for your help.

Didn't we just do this one here a coupla days ago, or was I thinking of another forum?  Whatever, it is still a salute gun, probably late 19th or early 20th C., locally-manufactured, barrel probably steel.  ??
