It may well be the coolest thing you'll ever own! This working miniature cannon is a scale replica of the same artillery used on the USS Constitution, AKA "Old Ironsides."

Old Ironsides and its powerful cannons were the scourge of the British Navy during the War of 1812. The mighty vessel defeated or captured 8 British ships during the war, and ran the British blockade of Boston twice!

Now you can own a piece of American history with this stunning scale model kit.

The cannon comes unassembled in a kit that you put together. Features hardwood carriage pieces and a 9" smoothbore barrel.

The barrel accepts .50 caliber round balls

It's a great project for families, history buffs, or black powder enthusiasts. This is your chance to actually build your very own piece of history!
