Some of the people opinions on it:<\/p>\n

Minimum-Zucchini-732: \u201cHaven\u2019t seen one of these in a while. Likely Kid\u2019s toy \u2013 you put a cap in the end, throw it, and it pops on landing.\u201d<\/p>\n

prairieson2644: \u201cIt\u2019s an old \u2018cap dart\/grenade\u2019. Red paper \u2018caps\u2019 were inserted in the space, and when thrown would bang on impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

gty2269: \u201cWeird just talking to someone about these the other day. They still sell them here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Magicwandza: \u201cKids toy. You put those paper \u2018bangers\u2019 underneath the spring and throw it on a hard surface to make it bang. Same principle as the old pop guns with the paper banger \u2018ribbons\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Budget_Roof1065: \u201cCap bomb. I must have gone through a hundred of those as a child in the 70\u2019s. Twist the top, put a paper cap in, twist the top back down, throw it up in the air. When it hits the pavement, it makes a bang.\u201d<\/p>\n

aztecforlife: \u201cWe stuck caps (little explosive wad) in them and they pop when you throw them. Probably removed from the market around the time lawn darts were deemed hazardous.\u201d<\/p>\n

JimiTrucks1972: \u201cI had a bunch of those. Man I can smell the picture. God I loved the smell of those red caps.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
