About the Item
English Brass & Wood Desk Top Model of a Signal Cannon
England, circa 1950s
An English brass & wood desk top model of a signal cannon, a mid 20th century example. This delightful desk accessory is a realistic casting of a 19th-century signal cannon, serving as a unique decorative piece.
The signal cannon is a heavy and finely crafted brass casting, exuding a sense of authenticity and attention to detail. It is supported by a wood and brass mounted two-wheel carriage.
While this model captures the appearance of a functional signal cannon, it is important to note that it is solely intended for decorative purposes and does not actually function.
Measuring 12 inches in width, 4 inches in depth, and 4 inches in height, this desk top model is perfectly sized to add a touch of history and intrigue to any workspace or display area.
The model is ready to be placed and enjoyed, becoming an eye-catching conversation starter and a testament to the fascinating history of signal cannons used in communication during the 19th century.
