...ok I'll have to add- had a couple of the "cannon balls" left they had this felt-like material around them. I would soak 'em in lighter fluid, light them and then quickly fire 'em.... amazing I still have all my fingers...
I had one. Somehow made the trip to college in the 70's. Put it on a balcony at the fraternity house and shot bottle rockets at the greek houses around us.
....I was legendary..... back in the day....guess that explains a lot!
I remember this toy well, it put me in the hospital in traction. My friend had this cannon and we were playing in his backyard when he fired it. The cannon ball hit me square in the forehead and caused me to fall backwards hitting my head on the ground causing a severely sprained neck. Gotta love childhood, yeah.

This is the actual size the South used during the Civil War. It's basically why they lost.

"And thell all feel gay when Jonny comes marching home" People never would have thought that it would turn into how we use it as now. xD

I had one, it was great fun, I used to shoot Germans when they appeared
on the old TV series "Combat", the plastic ball bounced off the TV screen.
My parents didn't seem to mind.
