anybody know anything about civil war cannons??

[alxone]

im going to look at a working repo six pound gun with carriage later today and hoping that someone here knows something about them . my limited knowledge stops at 1900 and im kind of interested in the thing but im worried about getting burned or getting stuck with a really expensive toy that i cant sell . so the questions are
basic value
does anybody think there is a market for such a thing
thanks for your input

Yes. I know the South should've had more. We probably could've avoided a whole lot of the problems we're facing today.

Aside from that...I really can't add anything of value.

Looks like from the links especially the 3rd one. They are mostly decoration cannons, Unless involved as a reenactor. That puts the cannon in to the outside of the cool factor, why did i buy it category.
