This is an odd ad!

2x 25pdr guns at someone's cottage house in Quebec. $5000 starts the bid. (I own other stuff, not these ones.) The why from Facebook. Apparently the owner is being forced to sell. Quote:

Thanks Terry. A deal has been struck and they should be mine. Looks like I am making a cross country trip next week.
I have wanted a 25 pdr for as long as I can remember. Now I may have two. |

Good God! How could anybody view these as some sort of eyesore!?!?
Excellent score Rob. Why are these things NEVER down the road from me.....even if the road was 1000km long.

Well done Rob!
I hope this all works out. Oh, and keep your eye open for the limbers that might in the neighbours backyard being used to store paint cans. I need one. Cheers Rob Fast

Oh I wil Rob.
There would appear to be more 25pdrs in that neck of the woods. Here is another of the poster's ads from the same region; note the lawn ornament: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-maison-a-loue...ationFlag=true |

Making someone sell those because of a municipal 'eyesore' bylaw is obscene. There was a similar instance here where an old guy had a collection of antique farm tractors. All well painted, maintained, almost invisible from the road and carefully trimmed grass around and under them. The old guy dies and before he's in the ground his widow is told to get rid of them or face a fine. She did. A great deal of history and her husband's investment were gone. How dare they.

Thanks for posting the photos Rob.
Just home about a half hour ago and am pretty zonked. Hopefully I can sleep in a little tomorrow, then unloading can begin. Not sure when I'll be heading back to Ottawa for the second one. |

The Guns
Rob
I talked to Ross last night, it sounds like you had some full days and lots of help. Aren't you glad that the Ontario collectors are so helpful and there none of the difficulties that removing things from the West creates. Glad to see they went to a good home and help expand your collection. I'll be out to see them some time in the future. Gord |

Let us know if you have any instructions on how you want the gun stored. Right now it is hidden from view by a HUP or two in the back field. Enjoy your kip!
