I picked this one up recently. It's a Ziiing-Shot. Made by Palmer Mfg.Co. out of PA.
I have seen 2 of these before but wasn't able to get them. This one came unopened still in original package-a real plus for a collector.
I jumped on it. As you can see from the pictures, it's cast Aluminum, about 6 "s by 3 1/2"s-double banded gum rubber-1/16" thick by 3/8" wide.
The description said it was made in the late 50's. I'm not sure about that. The knots at the prongs and pouch (hate that BTW) suggest the 50's. That was a popular attachment style back then.
I think it came out later because of the vacuum packaging. That type packaging I hadn't seen till the late 60's. Anyway, a nice (and lucky) find.I know I said I was no longer collecting, but when I see something like this, the addiction kicks in again!
