On a Zoom meeting tonight I think I caught sight of a Travis/Stockton cannon. I assume that the Travis/Stockton cannon is on the rare side and they are not often seen.

At one of the Ann Arbor Civil War Round Table member's house. It was in the background of his Zoom camera. He was discussing the Travis/Stockton cannon with another member when I entered the Zoom meeting and I just caught the end of the conversation. He is known to own a Travis/Stockton cannon and I assumed the small cannon in the background was the Travis/Stockton cannon they were discussing. He does own other cannons and the cannon in the background might have been a different cannon. The guess speaker was getting ready to start and I did not have time to ask about the cannon. Would it be worth me driving the 45 miles to his house to look over his Travis/Stockton cannon? A visit would probably involve adult beverages.
