Joe K. Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 This July 1968 photo will date the piece. Can anyone I.D. it?

Fineas J. Whoopie Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Appears to be a cap gun of some kind. The smaller non space style gun on the floor behind the boy in the green shirt makes me wonder if the gun in his hands was in fact marketed as a space gun. We see a spacey design but it may have been marketed as a spy gun or something else. Not looking familiar to me besides a slight resemblance to a plastic gun that escapes me at the moment (Space Control?). Good question Joe.

Joe K. Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 I think you're right 6S9. Too bad it's not a space gun. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddalek Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Indeed that boy has a cool gun.....looks like some kind of an air gun, large cylinder. Might make it a quiet device, no gun powder....which would fall into Spy category....Makes me wonder if such spy guns exist. 👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinplate6 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Here is the spacier version of the same gun, called the Secret Gun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
