I would love to have that on my front lawn. Really. What is the story with the barrel? Is it made of wood?

Would be neat on the lawn, wouldn't it? :D

I can't figure the barrel out either. Looks like that last picture is of the barrel "insert (?)" that's only a foot or so deep, and maybe fits into a turned wooden 'barrel.' I dunno...:dunno:

I did note the phillips head screws in the pic just before that, though, so it's been made - or at least repaired - during the 20th century.

I also see there's no elevation aiming wedge in the new carriage - at least not yet...
 
There are a few things not finished yet. Only today did I find the rot in the barrel. The barrel is fiberglass, wood
When I pilled the plug out I found spent gun powder residue, probably from the movie usage.

I was just going to do a cosmetic job but taking it apart found extensive turmite damage and still finding it. Lol
 
Its hard to edit on the phone so I'll just add pics as I go.
