BACKLINER GUN, "Clout Backliner"

H2000.96

Black and red striping gun, "CLOUT BACKLINER", constructed as follows. White plastic T-shaped nozzle with little holes in the T part of the nozzle where the chemicals are squirted out, is attached to a plastic measuring cylinder, marked in black print with measuring graduations. A metal pipe with black plastic plunger is attached to this cylinder, and then a black plastic tube is in turn attached to the metal pipe. The lower end of the black tube has a metal spring coiled around it, and finally at the end of the tube is circular black plastic lid, which would fit on to a container of chemicals. Extending vertically from the measuring cylinder is a red painted metal handle and lever. There is a spring on the interior of the handle and the lever is attached to the metal pipe. When the lever is pressed forward, this pushes the metal pipe and plunger forward, and squirts out the chemical onto the sheep's back. There is a silver sticker on one side of the red handle, with black printing "CLOUT BACKLINER COOPER".
