“Chinaman” Shooting Gallery Target

Probably American, ca. 1920
Cast iron, polychrome paint
untouched original condition, some paint loss as to be expected with age and use.
This cast iron target depicting a figure wearing a robe and holding a fan is fitted with spring-action head causing it to fly backwards when hit. Normally these shooting gallery targets took a considerable beating. This example has survived in a remarkable state of preservation.
