French Mechanical Drummer Boy Fairground Shooting Gallery Automaton. France, late 19th century. Painted metal shooting gallery target with wooden frame depicting a drummer. Striking the target would activate the mechanism, the drummer moving his drumsticks and an actual drum to beat which is concealed on the reverse. 36 x 25 ½ x 21”. Unrestored; not working. Paint loss from fairground use. An attractive example.
