So I'll start off by saying that I collect all things Colgate Football. (colgatefootballcollection.com) I recently picked up a tackling dummy that was used at Colgate in the 1930's. Was curious if anyone had ever seen one before or had any information on it.
Here's the dummy:

Here's a similar one in use at Colgate in 1931:

And here is a similar looking dummy from a 1924 Goldsmith's catalog:
