Item Description
9x10" illustrated cardboard box flat for 7x10x2.5" deep thick cardboard target by Joseph Schneider Inc. ©1935 Stephen Slesinger Inc. Box back panel has instructions. Box is incomplete, missing all inner flaps and one end flap. Box shows obvious wear w/tears and creases and just comes along. Fair. Box is rare. Target has an attached wood brace on the back plus metal battery-operated mechanism. Attached to the top of this mechanism is a wood strip w/two hinged targets, each w/paper label on front, depicting lion or tiger head. Front features different point value targets as well as great illustration of Tarzan on elephant and other jungle animals. Mechanism is designed to rock the wood strip back and forth revealing the two animal targets, one at a time. While the battery terminals remain totally clean, the mechanism does not work, as is typical of this toy. The strip can be tapped and they will move back and forth several times on their own. Target is exceptionally bright, w/just trace wear. The metal hinges on back of animal head targets have trace of surface oxidation. Still an Exc. display example and as nice as they come. Comes w/5" long original issue generic pressed metal gun and single dart. Gun is Exc. while dart's rubber tip has hardened w/age and pieces have chipped off. An exceptional toy rarely found w/its original box.
