Pistol Funnel. British, ca. 1880s.
Toleware funnel, hand-painted with a floral motif. When attached to the muzzle of a pistol, the gimmicked funnel allows small objects placed within to vanish at the moment of firing. Length 8 inches. Significant paint loss and wear from age but a scarce and evocative period example.
