mantle cannon

Mantle or desk top cannon add a element of intrigue to a office or home and quite often are a great conversation piece. They are used as props on television shows and in movies. They have been spotted in James Bond movies, for example. These types of cannon are usually "show" pieces, calling attention to themselves. If made out of brass, they are usually highly polished. Mantle cannon can be souvenirs, self made shop projects or made from kits.

For the most part, mantle cannon do not fire.
