SCARCE 1930s SHEET IRON COWBOY SHOOTING GALLERY TARGET

11: SCARCE 1930s SHEET IRON COWBOY SHOOTING GALLERY TARGET

The iron gunfighter silhouette target is homage to a similar model made by William F. Mangels of Coney Island. This unattributed example sports a sharply notched cowboy hat, applied facial, shirt collar, and gun belt detail; a mechanical bullseye and the original signal apparatus back side. The dry red, white, blue and yellow surface in old park paint exhibits a one-of-a-kind surface texture achieved only with time and impact from thousands of lead bullets on a painted iron surface.
The figure measures 35.5 inches, overall measurements with display are 41.5 x 16.5 x 10 inches.
Good condition as shown. There are no issues of damage or repair.
$6,000 - $9,000
