Unused 1890s Alfred Field & Co England 7cm long Lead Match or Cork Firing Cannon

I found a box of these at the back of the store of an old shop - so in excellent unused condition. 
They are 7cm long, the wheels go round, made of a soft metal probably lead, ENGLAND stamped along the side. The lever at the back moves in and out - to fire a cork or matchstick (potentially lethal - do not give to small children or over enthusiastic adults...)
In 1836 Alfred Field started a hardware business in Birmingham England, and then 4 years later in New York. After he died in 1884 his son continued the business and that is when the Maple Leaf symbol appeared alongside the crane symbol...thus dating the cannons to around about this time. (Fields ceased trading in about 1933)

Instructions :The lever is on a spring - you pull it back, put the matchstick in the barrel (shorter ones are best) , release the lever, and, if you've got the action right , the matchstick flies across the room !
