BALL LAUNCHER

This item is supposed to be a target ball launcher. I say "supposed to be" as there is no providence if it was really meant for that purpose. This 7-1/4" long wood and metal gun was used to toss a glass ball for target shooting. The gun has PATD 6-23-14 printed on the bottom of the barrel and Novelty Sales Co., Lyons, Iowa printed on the top of the barrel. Value at about $250.00 to $300.00.

GAH MAILING ENCELOPE

A mailing envelope that contained the program for the 1918 Grand American in Chicago. In those days the Grand American was run by the Interstate Trapshooting Association, a group of gun and powder companies that regulated trapshooting prior to the ATA. Value this cover at about $50.00.
