As promised, here's the photo essay for the REL cannon which measures 5 1/4" (13.33cm) L x 3 1/4" (8.25cm) W. I s'pose REL made these in other colors as well, but as I was never able to drum up enough interest in these I've never investigated them more. So okay - Enjoy! Opa Fritz

REL Cannon and Limber and Figures - Pt 1
Here's another vintage toy I took photos of a while back but never got around to posting: the REL Civil War Cannon and Limber. The limber is 5 1/2" (13.97cm) L X 3 1/4" (8.25cm) W. The cannon is 5 1/4" (13.33cm) L x 3 1/4" (8.25cm) W. This is kind of a cool piece but it ended up on the chopping block because...? I don't know why. It's just the right size to go well enough with my MPC 60mm ringhand Civil War stuff (the only detractor being those amorphous blobs of plastic REL pawned off as human figures). I think that, because it's my only REL toy, it feels out of place with the other ACW toys in the collection. These were really cheap toys back in the day and were actually quite nice - if you don't mind the figures. The cannon and limber are soft plastic and the horses and figures are hard plastic. The cannon is non-operating so there's a tad less play value when compared to other manufacturers. I took a gazillion photos of this thing so I'm a gonna break down the coverage into three posts. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
I bought this set with the six figures shown here: 3 drivers and three holding rifles
