I can't recall if I ever posted anything about this on this site or not, sorry if this is a repeat.

The popular book "Field Artillery Weapons of the Civil War" by Olmstead et al, describes the 6-pounder Treadwell gun, and says that no examples are known to survive. There is one, and I've posted some photos of it on another site if you are interested:
