another 18pr

As I am "legally obliged" :tinysmile_hmm_t2: to find and buy these everywhere I go, I showed great restraint and only bought one of four in the room !
Two where ex-lamps and one was rusted. No markings, no balls, but central tube is soldered in place. Well it was cheap at $30 cdn = 17 Pds. Sterling.

central tube in place! does the pusher plate come out by pulling it? nothing below the plate I hope.

Looking down it with a scope unfortunately the tin cup is not present. But I doubt I can get the top brass ring off anyways. Looks like the rod was left to keep the plate from being loose for whatever use this was intended for as the body was polished smooth.

So no markings on the body Gordon?

Nothing, it was polished down and was likely quite bright at one time, I guess for decorative intent.
