This is a brass framed percussion trap gun manufactured by the Getsem Gun Co. of Lincoln Nebraska. The stand is composed of two brass pieces that form a tripod. The hammer is a bent piece of flat steel that has a spring attached at the bottom and runs to the brass frame. The trigger has a hook at the top that the hammer fits into with a hole at the bottom with a piece of heavy brass wire running from the trigger through a support at the front of the device with a loop on the end. When the brass wire loop is pulled the trigger moves, releasing the hammer onto the nipple. The left side of the brass frame is marked "GETSEM GUN CO./LINCOLN, NEBR.".

Good, the brass has a dark aged patina with scattered black spots and some verdigris. The barrel has a smooth gray patina with the markings heavily worn. The replacement spring has some wear. The hammer and trigger have some surface oxidation. Mechanically fine.
