Iron "BP&Co" Marked Ship Cannon with Base

Measuring 31 inches long and approximately 8 inches wide across the trunnions, the cannon is fitted with a pair of sighting grooves at front and rear, a pair of 1 3/4 inch trunnions marked "BP/&C" (reportedly Boyd & Peck) on the right and "1987" on the left, and a raised "crown/BP" on top. The cannon is mounted on an 11 inch wide and 26 3/4 inch long hardwood base with an elevation adjustment screw and a pair of wooden skids on the bottom. Overall length as mounted is 35 1/4 inches.

ConditionGood. A dark brown patina is showing overall, with mild handling marks and some light pitting overall, heavier around the touch hole. The base is very good, with some wear along the edges and scattered dings.
