There is no real way that I am aware of that will determine when it was made, it could be 50 years old or 150. Those are not proof marks, merely decoration stamped by its maker.

Judging by the patina in the bore and near the touch hole, I'd say its been fired in recent years.

A couple of pounds of Black Powder, some pool balls, or small tennis balls and you'd be set for the Fourth of July just in time.

Based loosely on the patina and verdigris inside the barrel, I could believe it's pre-1900 or so. Model cannons weren't really reproductions, but more like toy models of an item (or, to a higher degree, salesmen's samples if they were extremely accurate). They do have value and are quite collectable, but a search of the web should give you a ballpark idea. Being that this is a mortar and not the more common cannon models, it would appeal to a specific collector.
