Here's a little toy cannon i know nothing about. it appears to be missing a part. The tire says Premiere on it and there's a warning sign on the barrel which says 'Don't look in the barrel while firing the cannon'. If you need to be told THAT, you are too young or dumb to own this toy. Actually, maybe all guns should have a warning on them like this. ??!
Big Bang Cannon
The cannon is made by the Conestoga company in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
It's missing it's firing mechanism.

I like the warning I saw etched around the muzzle of a gun. 'SMILE - WAIT FOR FLASH".
I had one of these cannons back on the early 60s.
