The pic is kind of small but from what I saw (after enlarging some), the real deal and worth drooling over!

Hey Daniel,

Certainly worthy of some drooling, even with the small photo, but isn't that a fire grenade?

The blue thing I can't see well at all, maybe a fire grenade. The older and more valuable types usually have patterns or embossing to ID. I can't see anything on it. It could be just a glass ball vase.
Surf is correct though, not a target ball. They'd be smaller and no long necks that I know of.

Hey Daniel,

I'm sure that if you resize your photo, yet again, to a size in the vicinity of 500x500, everyone would have a better picture.

Target balls were generally smaller, with sheared lips. Kinda like these...
