I was going through the junk in my shop today, and I found these. I know one is a Hoffer-Thompson cartridge holder. The other looks to be the size and shape of a .303 British. May just be an old style snap cap But I have no idea. Anyone ever see one before?10831081108210841080 Sorry for the crap photos.

I sold a Hoffer/Thompson device about a year ago for $95.00. Just in case your wondering on value.
Can't help on the other.

I saw a Hoffer-Thompson cartridge holder go on Ebay for 157.00. AS a kid I always wanted to build a zip gun with it!

It's a Hollifield Target Dotter cartridge for the Krag.

I believe it was some wacko, turn of the century, Rube Goldberg-esque, indoor target practice gizmo.
