This great old toy fires these shells. Barrel and shells are made of wood, the rest is metal. Is this a cannon or gun or rapid fire cannon or machine gun??? I am not sure what to call it or how old it might be. It's really cool though. 7" high including the wire holder and 5 3/4" long including the handle and barrel. Please voice your opinion.

Looks like a gattling gun. Do you crank the handle on the back to make it fire? How does it propel the shell, spring force? Very cool.
Rapid fire toy cannon patented July 2 1918 by T.R. Arden
To Picking - Hi - Yes, you crank the handle and either a spring or rubber band? I would guess spring, I think a rubber band would have dried up and broken by now. It is really fun!
To ttomtucker. Wow, you are amazing and I appreciate your answer!
Thanks a tun for your input to both of you!
Any value estimate?
No wounder they came out with NURF. Those wood bullets had to be tuff on windows :-) Great toy.
I could shoot hot dogs to my Mother in law with this ! Seriously, this thing is really cool. Nice find !
