It is an Anti-rodent device or mouse killer pistol, invented in 1862.

Gee Whiz! All that trouble just to kill a poor little mouse? Why couldn't they just pick him up by the tail and turn him loose outside? :'(
My house was infested with mice last fall. I bought some live mouse traps. They worked too. They would trap the mice, and I would drive them over to the park and turn them loose out there. They are gone now, and they didn't hurt anything. But I hope I don't have this problem again this year.
It was a pain in the AY-US! :P
