Eogardus’ Patent Rough Glass Balls 
and Glass Ball Traps. 
These Traps are the only ones that give satisfaction, aa 
they are simple of construction, easily set, and not liable 
to get ont of order, and they throw the ball In a manner 
that more closely resembles the flight of a bird than any 
other trap In the market. The Patent Rough Glass Balls 
are made of uniform weight and thickness, and have a 
corrugated surface that strengthens the ball for shipment 
to any part of the country, prevents the glancing or shot, 
.and thereby Insures the breaking of the ball when hit. 
CAPTAIN BOGARDUS was the flrat to Introduce the 
ROUGH BALL, and at a price far below the smooth ball 
at that time. 
Balls and Trap can be ordered through all Gun Deal- 
ere. Liberal discount to the Trade.

PATENTED OCTOBER 23, 1877. 
The “Standard ” Ball. 
The Bohemian Glass Works would respectfully call the attention of all dealers In Glass Balls to the fact 
that the Paine Patent Filled Ball Is tho STANDARD AND ONLY BALL MADE TO A SCALE, therefore wo 
would respectfully caution the dealers against laying In a stock of unsaleablo articles for the Spring Trade,

No other ball affords the PLEASURE of tho Feather Filled Ball, and no other Ball Is as heantlfully 
made. It will breuk In every instance when hit by shot, and Is sufficiently strong to prevent breakage 
either by transportation or falling on the grass. 
Every ball is weighed and examined, then packed with the greatest care, In barrels of 300.
