Reversible Shot Cushion
Product Code: TRE90
Availability: Recently Sold

Rare reversible shot cushion from the early 20th century silent movie & vaudeville era. Similar to the ones shown in the pre-1920 Dixie Music House catalog attached, this sound effect has two different shot cushions. The cushion on one side is a heavy canvas that imitates a galloping horse. Flip the entire cushion over to expose a leatherized surfaced that imitates gun fire or a slap to the face. The overall size of the imitation is 10" L x 11" W, It is well made on a heavy wooden frame. Comes complete with the original flat wooden sticks. This sound effect is in excellent overall all original condition. There is a little staining on the canvas pad but no holes or tears in either side. Not many of these imitations survived so this is a very rare find. It will make a nice and useful addition to any period sound effect collection.
