One very nice 1917 13pr 9CWT case with a rubbish squash head practice stuck into it.

A 1918 British Army marked Bicycle lamp in good order.

A Britain's "Garrison" Howitzer, it works now where are the cat's :xd:

I wouldn't say the practise proj was rubbish. As it's unfired, surely it will be good as trading stock?
 
True enough, but some clown removed the original blue - but a case filler at any rate. I'll sell it off cheap at the next show. last show a fellow had one for
$100 and said it was WW1 !

Antique shows is where to look, sometimes it works out. I also got this early Victorian Rosewood Teapoy (Tea caddy on a stand) for $80 cdn.
You can pay a great deal more elsewhere, it just needs some TLC. This was the real hit of the day. Last show it was a Glll wine open wine (Simpsons:xd:) cooler for $200.
The Britians so called 18" Garrison cannon wasn't produced past something like 1966 I think it was, the more common wheeled version longer. I never had them when I was a Kid so it's time ! You just never know what will turn up and where. I don't keep it all of course, I do like to get some $ back to help keep the ball rolling.
