Toddler Richard Burt was burnt after sticking a cartridge in the family car's socket, Los Angeles, 1935

Description:
When baby Richard Burt was left alone in the car to play he found one of his father's .22 caliber cartridges in the side-pocket of the car and pushed the cartridge against the electrical contact points in the empty dash-light socket, which caused it to explode, but only injuring Richard's finger with some powder burns. The bullet from the shell had been melted.
