Lot 174: A Group of Five Decorative and Patriotic Items, including a Miniature Cannon, Spent Casings, and a Souvenir Badge

This lot presents a diverse group of five items. It comprises three spent firearm cartridge casings, one miniature decorative cannon, and a single circular patriotic badge. The three casings, two of larger caliber and one of a smaller caliber, are of brass or bronze construction. The miniature cannon features a gold-toned metal barrel mounted on a copper-toned wheeled carriage, presenting a decorative or novelty style. The circular badge has a brass-toned metal rim enclosing a domed insert, which depicts the United States flag and the Union Jack against a cloudy blue sky. Partially visible, reversed text along the upper edge of the insert appears to translate as “Souvenir.”
