Description
Zouave/ACW uniform as these banks were inspired by an international rifle shooting competition held at the Creedmore Rifle range on Long Island. Competition (and the NRA) started there in the 1870s. Place the coin in the proper position on the barrel of the gun. Press the right foot and the coin is thrown into the opening of the tree which happens to be the bull's eye of the target. As the coin enters the tree, it strikes a gong bell. To round out the sound effect, the rifle has been fabricated in a manner that allows for a paper cap to be fired simultaneously. From the Tanenbaum Collection. Painted cast iron. In working order. Scattered areas of light to moderate paint loss and oxidation exists as well as some small patches of surface rust. American (Cromwell, CT., USA). Patent Nov. 6, 1877. 6.5" H x 10 W x 3" D. CODE-BAN
