Incredible and striking Glass Target Balls

This Gentleman Would!

His name was Capt. Bogardus and in addition to inventing one of the early forms of glass ball traps, he also improved upon the glass target ball itself.

Here’s my take:

Glass Target Balls: This is my favorite kind of collectible. One where there was little or no perceived value during its time of use, I mean they shot at these by the millions.  A category of collectible that the average person will not even know what the item is. I didn’t until I came across an example of one pictured on a bottle collecting site. And something that has beauty, color and story beyond its original intended use.

Collectors, Flea Marketers, and Estate Sales Shoppers Take Note:

These are the kinds of items you should always be on the lookout for…
