| Description: | Studio portrait of smiling boy with toy rifle and buckskin jacket standing next to tripod with three rotating duck models; apparently publicity photo for toy sale at Abraham & Straus department store on Fulton Streets. Caption: "SHOOTING GALLERY is a French import. Three metal arms extend from the top of an adjustable metal tripod. Gaily painted wooden ducks, attached by chains to the rods, must be firmly secured by metal clips to the rods. The three arms are set in motion and the 'hunter' then takes aim with his rifle. When he 'wings' a duck with a rubber tipped arrow, the duck drops realistically limp on its chain. Price $15.95." |
