Antique Coston Signal Company Line Throwing Cannon:
$5500.00
This is a fantastic U.S. Navy-marked Coston Signal Company line throwing gun. The overall length of the tube is 32\" with an excellent bore. The barrel, collar and iron carriage cheeks have been professionally painted a black. The elevation yoke and the bore of the gun are a semi gloss blue. Each cheek of the carriage is marked \"Coston Signal Co./New York/USA\" cast-in by the maker. The condition is wonderful with all the rough machining and casting marks still present. Maximum width is 11\" by about 15\" tall with an overall length of about 41\". Used shipboard on U.S. Naval capital ships from the 1800s right up to the 1950s. Really a super, nicely marked example of an antique U.S. Naval-inspected Coston line throwing cannon.
Surely one with a particular interest in nautical arms or collectibles would find this Coston Signal gun to be a great acquisition.
