Hey everyone, new member looking to get some info on some small cannons my step father had collected. I’m not sure the value on any of these and need to sell a good amount of them by the end of the year. What would these type of cannons be called? Any help is mucho appreciated. Thanks again.

Interesting collection.

Some appear to be scale models……Some of the breechloaders. I am more familiar with the muzzle loaders and see a Carronade and a Dahlgren. I also see a carbide cannon. There are several generic representations of cannons in your collection. Some fall into the toy category. Some in the fantasy. Some in the model.

We would need to see each in more detail with ruler for scale to more accurately give an opinion.
 
I was expecting signal cannon. :(

They need some love. Some simple restoration would make 'em look sharper.

I doubt they have much value other than sentimental for you.
If I am wrong and they do have value I apologize. They look like little desk cannons. A pop bottle next to them would help with seeing the actual scale.
