The following description applies to the 1-pdr, 3-pdr and 6-pdr guns which were widely used during the 1880s-1900s:
The 1, 3 and 6-pdr guns of the "New Navy" corresponded to certain calibers, respectively 37 mm (1.46"), 47 mm (1.85") and 57 mm (2.24")...
Nice find.
Looks like a US naval 57mm (6 pdr) deck gun.
