I was told these were cannon related. I'm not sure.
« on: August 28, 2012, 05:12:04 AM »
I was told these were cannon implements.  They are made of brass or bronze. I am at work and do not have the dimensions just photos. I can get dimensions later.  Can someone help me identify if they are cannon related please?

What did the person who said they are cannon related think they were?  I don't see anything that I can recognize.

Well they look well made..... I think they are more for breach loading artillery and their cleaning..... but I am taking a guess on that.... nice Winchester box under them....

Artilleryman,
The person said he was told they were rammers. 
Kabar2,
That is the box that contains the cannon that got me started.  It is a chrome Winchester with the balloon tires.

It reminds me of a pole arm on the end.  Closer pictures or detail examination might give a clue.

Rammers of some sort would be my guess, you can see where each item has had a wooden shaft cut off. Also I would theorise that the heads are hollowed to preserve a part of the projectile - be it muzzle or breach loaded.
I have not seen the like before.

In my opinion they (it?) aren't artillery-related.

It kind of looks like a torch. A signal Torch maybe. Maybe it uses black powder to make smoke rings..
