Default A Toy Copper Mini Cannon?...haha

Hey PAPPY,

Got this today. Reads like a 70's penny. The barrel opening is slightly tapered the last 1/4" and it is not threaded inside. I'm not sure if the top part is threaded where the "seam" is. If it is, it's more than hand tight........imagine that!

That is a gun powder measurer for black powder guns. pull the end out counting the lines, each line counts as 10 grains of powder. I use 90 grains in my muzzleloader, so 9 lines. Cool find!

Here's a couple more pics of it. It took some Liquid Wrench and a bit of persuasion to get it separated! LOL
