You're on a roll, Joe. That Sky-Gun is the one without the hump. We discussed the Mercury humped one a while ago. Here's another ad from 1950

The Flash Ray Gun is fascinating. Isn't it a buzz to find something new, and such an early piece. The advert calls the flashlight beam "Death rays to Buck Rogers fans".
