I have a small cannon that was given to me, please excuse the measurements because i have to view it from through a window.

The barrel is about 48 inches long, with a breach block that looks to be about 10 inches square, end of muzzle is about 21/2 inches, with bore about 11/4, has wooden spoke wheels and look to be about 20-24 inches, breach block fireing mech. is gone, has a woden carrage nut most is rotted away, one wheel has collapsed, littl gray paint left on barrel, lady who gave it to me said it belonged to her late husbands gran dad and that it was used in the Indian Wars in Oklahoma, didnt have my camera the day i was there but not sure the pictures would be very good with all the junk pilled on it, i have looked all over the net and cant find anything that looks like it, it is not a Hotchkiss, chamber ares looks to be between a 20mm and a 40mm in size, anyone have any idea what it might be, any info will be appreciated, thanks, Allen.
