De Moulin Bros. & Co. Lifting and Spanking Machine. Greenville, IL, 1909. Fraternal order initiation device. From the catalog, ?Just about the time he gets well started (pulling up on the handles), a trigger is automatically released, which causes the spanking paddle to spring into place and strike him on the kazabo (buttocks) at the same time exploding a 32-calibre blank cartridge with a loud report (bang).? De Moulin label to underside, much of it missing. Please do not use; sold for display and exhibition only. Wear, scratches, and minor tears to fabric. Some fringe missing on one side. Overall good condition. Third-party transportation required. When spanker is attached, 41 x 30 x 20".
