J&E Stevens & Co., designed by James H. Bowen. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Patented 1/6/1877. Red pants. "Place the coin in proper position on the barrel of the rifle, when, by pressing the right foot, it is thrown into the opening, which is the bull's-eye of the target. As the coin enters, it strikes a gong bell, and the rifle is so arranged that a paper cap may be fired at the same time." From the Collection of Bob Brady
