Late 15th Century Early 16th Century Signal Mortars

This is a small collection of wrought iron signal cannons although a slight inclination on the barrels suggests they may have had more aggressive uses.
These were used to signal time and commands.
Each has an incuse cross on the side of the touch hole and diameters and lengths vary.
These would be circa 1600 and would have been in use until the 18th Century.
The three different sizes make an interesting display.
Sold as a collection.
These are heavy please ask for quotation for foreign shipments.
