Tin target
Has anybody seen a George Best "Early Tin Pigeon"? I was going through some things today and found this item that I had got several years ago when purchasing some glass target balls. The info that I have on the tin target is that is was made around 1885 in Chicago and was made to be reused. Its in the shape of a disc like a clay bird with a ring around the top that would disengage from the target when the pellets hit it and flutter down like a dead bird. These have to be fairly rare as I have personally never seen another one. I not even sure what something like this could be worth but it has to figure in with the early start of trapshooting. If the Grand American was still in Ohio-I would probably give it to the museum of trapshooting that was on the grounds. Anyway-Id appreciate any additional information someone might have.
