A Curious Combination

This intriguing lot comprises two vintage items: a Salo water pistol and a general omnibus company toy ticket punch. The water pistol, cast in metal, features a distinctive pistol grip and nozzle. The ticket punch, also metal, is designed to mimic those used on public transport, with a lever mechanism for dispensing tickets. Both items showcase the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of their era, offering a glimpse into the toys and tools of yesteryear.

Condition and Collectibility

Both pieces exhibit signs of age and use, with surface wear and patina consistent with their vintage. The punch’s lever still moves, though functionality is not guaranteed. These items would appeal to collectors of vintage toys, transportana, or those with an interest in ephemera. Their unique combination makes this lot a particularly interesting addition to any collection.
