Blashak-Cannon-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a very early miniature muzzle loading howitzer made by master miniature maker Stanley Blashak of Pennsylvania (1915 - 2001).  10 3/4" long overall and 6 3/4" wide.  The wheels are 4 3/16" in diameter.  3 7/8" long with a muzzle diameter of 1.375" and a bore of .750.  The barrel is bored through to the touch hole, so this cannon will shoot.  The carriage is American black walnut with brass furniture.  The barrel is bronze.  Accessories include a ramrod and a swab.  Superb workmanship and attention to detail as you would expect from anything that Stanley made.  Formerly in the Paul and Mary Kopsch collection.  This is one of only two miniature cannons that Stanley ever made.

Blashak-British-9-Pounder-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a miniature British 9 pounder made by master miniature maker Stanley Blashak (1915 - 2001).  13 1/2" long overall & 9 1/2" wide.  The wheels are 5 1/4" in diameter.   The barrel is 7 1/4" long and measures 1.085 at the muzzle with a .632 bore.  The barrel is bored through to the touch hole, so this cannon will shoot.  The carriage is American black walnut with brass furniture.  The barrel is bronze.  Accessories include a ramrod, a water bucket, a swab, and a coil of rope.  Superb workmanship and attention to detail as you would expect from anything that Stanley made.  I'd put it up against a Furr any day, and it's smaller.  Formerly in the Paul and Mary Kopsch collection.  This is one of only two miniature cannons that Stanley ever made.

Britishcannon26.jpg

This is absolutely the best miniature muzzle loading cannon I have ever seen.  This is a British model 1871 cannon used in India made by Dan Storen.  This is one of three Dan built and is serial number 2.  Just unbelievable detail from all the cast brass hardware to the dished spoke wheels to the attention to details, fit, and finish.

Cork-Mortar-1.JPG

This is a great little bronze mortar that shoots corks!  Precision machined from solid bronze stock, it measures 2 1/4" tall.  The tube measures 1.438 in outside diameter and has a bore of .750.  Comes complete with three corks, a powder scoop, a vent pick, and complete instructions for firing.  The base has four threaded holes so it can be bolted down to a fixed base.  Uses 4f black powder.  You knoiw all those wine corks you've been throwing away, cut them in half and you have two rounds for your cork mortar!

Cannon-SK-1.JPG

This is a neat desk top model of an artillery piece or coastal defense gun by an unknown maker.  Threaded breech, functional elevation, traverse, and recoil mechanism.  The steel barrel measures 18 7/8" long with about a .38 caliber bore.    The rest of the parts made from yellow brass.  Probably made as a firecracker cannon as there's a hole for a fuse in the middle of the threaded breechblock.  The base looks to be pine with nicely routed edges and measures 17" X 8" X 1".  There is a brass brace that supports the breech guide bars that will need to be resoldered, otherwise the condition is excellent.

Panzerfaust-1.JPG

This is a neat 1/2 scale World War II 60mm German Panzerfaust made by master miniature maker Vic Williams.  The Panzerfaust is a one shot portable grenade launcher used primarily for taking out tanks.  27 9/16" long overall.  The grenade part of this is turned from a solid aluminum billet.  The grenade body measures 6 1/2" long and the largest diameter is about 2 7/8" and has a Nazi dirty bird on the forward end.  There is a shaft with fold-able fins inside the tube that deploy when the Panzerfaust is fired.  The tube body is 29/32" in diameter and 16 1/8" long.  Finish is OD green paint with stencilled red paint markings.  There is a decal on the grenade with firing instructions.  The sight has graduated markings for distance.  This piece is mechanically functional but of course there is no propellant or explosive charge.  You can pull the split ring which will remove the cotter pin.  You can then configure the sight to the desired distance, and pull the grenade out to see the propellant body and fins.  Complete with the tan canvas carry bag with German markings.  Vic made four of these and this is number three.  Really well done!
