Shooting Gallery. Middleburg, VA: Collector?s Workshop, ca. 1990s. A borrowed watch is placed in a canister at the end of a swinging pendulum. Behind this are three inflated balloons. As the pendulum swings, a spectator shoots at the balloons, popping two, and in the process, apparently destroying his own watch. Parts of the watch fall from the canister. Yet when the centermost balloon is finally popped, hanging from a ribbon inside it is the very same borrowed watch. Original instructions. With custom-made Encore ATA case (22 x 39 x 8?). Includes custom made table not for sale by the manufacturer. Uncommon.
