This pair of early 20th century decorative cast iron cannons are of excellent quality stamped with the initials RMI. By repute from the previous owner, these cannons were manufactured in Horwich, Lancashire, England by a large industrial firm that worked mainly in the railway industry in the 19th and 20th centuries. On top of the barrel is a small powder hole which leads you to believe that they could fire but we would strongly recommend you take professional advice on that subject.
Nice to get a pair in such good condition and ready for display.
