TOM CORBETT SPACE CADET CLICKER RAY GUN - MAKER? - AUSTRALIA?

Silver plastic space gun. This is a variation of the Palmer Space Ray Gun Clicker Pistol. It is appreciably larger - 6" (see comparison shot). It has been suggested that this is an Australian gun. There may be a connection to Palmer Plastics, the designer of the smaller version.

"Tom Corbett" is molded on one side and "Space Cadet" on the other. Simple click action. 1950s Box? Packaging?

The series aired on Australian TV in 1954.
