Pair of brass miniature cannons, ca. 1790-1820. 196.0 and 192.6 grams, each 5" long. Two ornamental cannons in bright brass, not functional (no touchholes) but very similar to those used in a strange solar alarm clock, the sun's rays hitting the touchhole of the loaded cannon via a lens at the appropriate time and thereby setting off a charge. These cannons are not pristine (a few nicks and dents) but fully intact and heavy.
