Summary
A wire spring clip fastener that could secure a door when used in conjunction with a cup hook or picture hook. These were adapted to be used as a gun with an indented projectile (presumably a cork) with a hole which fitted onto the wire; now a barrel of a gun. When compressed the spring drove the projectile forward when the trigger was pressed.
