Give Me a Gun or Somethin'! The Monster's At the Door!

[Toy Ranch]

I've had a lot of toy guns over the years.  I collected space guns pretty actively for a while.  These are all gone now, but I found some old pics of them.

More...















There were others, but these pictures were all I found today.

WoW!....Those are some amazing guns!  The Atomic Disinegrator gun is definitely my favorite, with its dial for power.  What are the dates on these?

[Gasport]

WOW Bobby,... I'm speechless! These are works of art! Love the graphics on the Helium gun and the Atom Ray gun is pretty sick, too! What would you estimate such a collection might be worth in today's market??

Those are fantastic

They range in age from the 1930's - the 1960's.  Most of those are pre-war.  The Hubley Atomic Disintegrator (with the dial) is from the 50's.  The rarest is probably the last one, the Spinray.  When you pull the trigger, the metal blade on the end spins around. 

As far as value in today's market?  I dunno, I don't really pay attention to that market.  I converted my rayguns, rocket ships, and most of my robots into monster toys.

The Sound-O-Power one looks like it's a fairly recent one from the 1970's.

Actually it's from 1936.

Whoops. Wrong picture. It's the Marx Sound-O-Power that looks to be of fairly recent vintage.

Very nice guns! On the subject of value.......the Buck guns aren't as crazy priced as you might think for as old and neat as they are. They do the E-bay often. I have the Buck guns too and traded a very nice issue of Detective #31 for them........bad trade..........Buddy

Great sound!



Pity it's completely ineffective against battling lizards though.

Yea, definitely has the 70's look...when Marx was on it's last gasp.....

[bigbud]

Where the guns?

Hepcat said we needed more western cap guns in our arsenal...

I found this set at an auction. What really sold me was that they were made by a company from my home town.





When I became aware of Roth American they were manufacturing things like above ground swimming pools and swing sets. I never knew they did toys like this!
