Riverboat Gambler’s Cannon Cane. American, ca. 1900. The 4” brass cannon is loaded with a ball and powder, and a wick is placed in the small hole on top. Don’t sit across from the gambler brandishing this cane and caught cheating; he will light the wick with his cigar and the ball will certainly do some minor damage. 34” tall. Fine. Rare.
