Please message us if you have any questions. Thanks!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis authentic, early 20th century antique wooden carnival knock-down milk bottle target carries a fantastic, untouched historical pedigree. Hand-turned from solid hardwood, this particular bottle is a rare \"gaffed\" or \"rigged\" midway game piece featuring its original poured-lead weighted plug visible on the bottom. Carnival operators secretly placed these heavy bottles at the base of three-bottle pyramids to absorb baseball impacts and keep the game rigged against players. The wood showcases a great patina and exceptional character, defined by its natural weathering and time-earned hairline drying cracks. A premier addition for collectors of vintage Americana, circus and carnival memorabilia, gambling oddities, or primitive country decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e♦️$7.50 flat rate shipping to all of the United States (Combined, international, and freight shipping as well as local pickup available upon request!)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smokin' Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49780942831771,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4310\/5179\/files\/71A35CCF-EB25-4AE0-B708-3AA06F31EA54.jpg?v=1791732260","url":"https:\/\/www.smokinfinds.com\/products\/early-20th-century-american-primitive-wooden-carnival-weighted-gaffed-knock-down-milk-bottle-target","provider":"Smokin' Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
