Need help with a signal cannon ID

[njzalaskus]

Hello all: I have owned this cannon for over 50 yrs. It was given to me by a family friend who found it in the woods near Allentown PA. I fired frequently it when I was a kid. I'm guessing Civil War era? It's iron. Sorry the pics inverted when I uploaded them.

Odd that there are no trunnions.
No idea.

Welcome From THE Heart Of Dixie. It would have set in a cradle. Are there any markings on it?
