Not mine but if you are tempted to buy me a present for my upcoming 72nd Bday, here’s a hint.

maybe if we all chip in.....

 

A cannon chest? It seems small for one of your cannons.

 

I think it's the SHIPPING I'd be more concerned about!!!!! But it IS a LOVELY chest.....!!!!!!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

I call CLICKBAIT! Not a thing to do with unusual big guns on nekkid cherubs chests.................

Never the less, it sure is a nice piece.

 

that cute little one , straddling the barrel........that's gotta be cold ...in all the wrong places..........

 

Beautiful chest, spring.

And when was your birthday again?

 

That is why the one on the right is handing him a cannonball, so it can be fired.

 

Thanks 4 lookin’. I see the big panel with the cannoneers is a separate piece, not unexpected. I wonder if back when you could order this with musicians, animals, flowers, etc on that panel? I’m guessing it is really a 19th C. Revival piece? I’d love to buy if $1900. Was the total but the shipping and packing on this bulky thing would probably nearly double the price unless u got a friend to add it to his container (a thought I had as I do have such a friend, but he’s gonna want it too!). Think I’ll show it to 2 friends, one of whom will def buy it, then at least I can touch it next time I visit him.

 

April 7, but don’t tell any scammers pls!

 

...and I gotta save my money at least all day to see if my offer for the bronze-based mystery item (see my other post on that) was successful. More to come on that, hope by dinner time! I can hardly wait on that, can’t recall last time I was so “primed” for a go/no-go decision on some artifact!

 

Naughty little cherubs ! Can't let my 4 year old see this ! He already has a butt and firearms fetish.........lol
