Greenville, Ill. U.S.A., the stained wooden box 7 3/4 x 7 3/4 x 7 7/8" in the shape of a box-form studio camera with "lens" and dark-cloth. The back of the "camera" has two brass tubes, one to be attached to a rubber bulb filled with water (not included) and the other for "sighting" the victim who instead of being photographed is squirted with water, with maker's instruction label affixed to the rear of the "camera". (original dark-cloth with holes and tears). An early and rare trick camera. Ex Spira Collection.
