SPACE GUN - MATSUSHIRO - JAPAN
Blue lithographed tin space gun with spaceship shaped body. There is a large picture of an astronaut's head on the side and the word "SPACE GUN". Clear red plastic barrel with no ribbing. Uniquely this space gun has a small plastic antenna (possibly two?) mounted on top. Friction noise and spark action. Box has a space landscape with an astronaut shooting a line into space. 1.5k Matsushiro's logo is a T inside an M.
This is the Yoshiya pressing used for guns such as the Jet Arrow and Atom Gun.
