Bring home a truly fantastic and authentic piece of early 20th century midway history with this genuine antique carnival knock-down game wooden milk bottle target. Expertly turned from a solid, heavy block of dense wood with a classic vintage bottle silhouette, this piece features a traditional recessed mounting hole drilled directly into the bottom base designed to secure the target onto a standard spring-loaded or peg-style carnival throwing platform. It showcases an incredible, highly weathered white painted finish that has acquired a rich, deep patination over decades, beautifully accented by hand-written green lettering spelling out "milk" across the front. Brimming with authentic character, this target bears the unmistakable bumps, bruises, deep dings, and surface scuffs born from years of getting pelted by heavy baseballs and canvas knock-down balls at traveling fairs and amusement parks. It serves as an extraordinary statement display piece for a game room, man cave, rustic country home, or serious Americana folk art collection.
