A cast iron round bullseye shooting target with old thick white red and blue paint. It's a piece that's seen plenty of action; to the point where some wana-be expert marksman chipped off a piece of its top! This is the larger of two sizes these were known to be cast in. A lovely 13" diameter in contrast to the 10" ones. These were constructed with bells in the back where when the bullseye was hit a mechanism would spring it up. Also these traditionaly came in white; but we're very thankful that the specific carnival house decided to paint it as seen. So far as we have researched this is the only one in existence in color.

A great addition to any shooting target, carnival, hunter, or such collection.
