Tom Frank Heavy Copper Cups (seconds)
I forgot that I had these tucked away. I have several
sets of these heavy cups. They are all great for street work.
These were "seconds" with not too neatly trimmed metal
before mouth bead was rolled. This is all I have. When they are
gone, that's it. That mouth bead inconsistency will only affect
close-up work ... $105 per set
Conley Card Sword ... $225
Card Go ... $115
Abbott Head Chopper
This unit was refurbished with new paint and heavy
stainless steel blade. 
Abbotts' Shooting a Ribbon Thru A Girl (Complete
with special rifle, target, and sash) ... $850 (SOLD left up for
reference)
The setup is complete. It includes a modified bolt
action 22 caliber rifle which fires blanks. The original barrel
has been replaced by a larger diameter barrel and ram rod for
stuffing the ribbon into the barrel.
The sash has a spring loaded lid on the front ribbon
box and pocket on the rear.
The target is mounted on a folding metal base and
does its job perfectly.
My presentation was for gun clubs where I dressed
as a red neck hunter type in red plaid jacket and cap with ear
mutts. I went through a mock safety talk accidentally shooting
a coffee mug off of the table before going into the marksmanship
demo. I was to give a demo showing how to shoot the pip from the
center of an ace held by my assistant. The ribbon would allow
the audience to see the path of the speeding bullet. The ribbon
was stuffed into the barrel with the ram rod, blank loaded, aimed,
and fired. Big loud bang, girl screamed as she pulled ribbon back
and forth through her body. Black out, curtains closed.
Everything works perfectly. This is similar in concept
to the P&L version without the very dangerous dart mechanism.
Hopefully this will answer all of the questions
about the apparatus. I do not know how many of these Abbott's
made but this is the only one I ever ran across.
