In Response To: Re: Cannon at Savannah Park ()

Dale,

Thanks for offering to help. I wish I knew which park. I'd be grateful if you would just check any cannons that you happen to see, wherever you happen to visit in Savannah.

I'd also be interested in any information you have about the other Pratt stamped items that you've seen. I am trying to help Tommy Brown, Public Relations Officer for Continental Eagle Corporation, the owners of the Old Pratt Gin properties. He has heard stories of such items, but has had no luck in identifying any surviving relics as such.

On his Pratt History website, he states...

"There have been stories handed down about cannons, cannon balls, artillery projectiles, bullets and various weapons produced at the Prattville factory. There has been talk of someone seeing a Prattville marked cannon in a civil war park. I have heard a story about a steam engine of several Confederate ships called the Prattville Engine."

Tommy said the cannon was seen in a park in Savannah, but he did not know which park.

Not related to the Pratt Gin Factory...there are surviving d-guard knives out there that were manufactured in Prattville by T.L. Pruett. At least one of these survivng knives has "Prattville, Ala." stamped on the handle.
