I understand that miniature cannons that go bang is a hobby, but I don't know anyone around here doing it.

Thank you for your help. It is pretty amazing to find this at my house. My house isn't that old, so I don't know if some kid was playing with some antique toy that he wasn't supposed or what. Interesting.
