Early 20th century ad for a spanking shovel
Our Spanking Shovel is preferred by many to the ordinary spanker, as it creates a more startling effect upon the candidate. Imagine the effect, to see a person pick up an ordinary looking fire shovel from the coal scuttle and strike the candidate where his mother used to apply the sole of her slipper and cause a loud report equal to that of a small cannon. The firing mechanism is automatically discharged by a slight jar. The charge is completely muffled. This Spanker is made of steel and brass; is perfectly safe and will not get out of order.
5253 Spanker and fifty 32-calibre blank cartridges $2.25
Extra cartridges, per box of 50 (not mailable) .25
