I'm a long-time gun nut with a relatively small collection of exotic, older .22 handguns and a couple of older rifles - plus others I'm gonna' let go. Lots of stuff I've accumulated over the years, like a couple of old toy cannons, no longer hold my interest as much as my new loves. I'm sure another gun nut would REALLY like to own them. HERE'S MY QUESTION: Which, in your opinion, is the BEST venue for me to offer these toys? Would an online auction devoted to guns be best, or should I go with the larger crowd like eBay? I've got a good record with both of these and can easily and quickly use either. I'm inclined to believe the larger buying audience for such items would be via eBay. On the other hand, would the guaranteed "gun lover" group - though smaller - be more apt to spend more for quality pieces? Is there something I'm overlooking here? Anyone out there have any experience in this area? Below is a photo of one of the cannons in question. It is cast iron and that's the original paint job. It's in excellent condition and the bore and touchhole are still clean and open. My mom owned an antique shop and gave it to me some 50+ years ago. I look forward to your opinion and comments. (Yes, that's a penny in the pic.) 45Broomhandle
