My bayonet for Parris rifle fell apart in 60s.  Lol. 

 

GWS. I really like your little metal bayonets. 

[SKIPH]

Paul- Really pleased I could help out with the rubber bayonet for the Parris Trainer.  Had literally seen it just a little while before I read the Toy Gun thread. SKIP

If anyone has any pictures of toy guns from the early 90’s that would be a blast from the past for me

Here is a cap cane gun maybe 1890s top, repeater1920s bottom. 

 

Also called cap busters. 

 

Net pic of ammo for repeater.

Some of my old pics disappeared.

     I've never seen these before, they look well made and heavy! When were they made?(approx.)

    Another unknown Davy Crockett item, I'm jealous now! Here's the only D.C. item I have from the late 50's.

[GWS]

Copdoc- 

           Those cane guns look heavy duty, the ammo box is in beautiful condition!

[copdoc]

They were made to last.  Lol

 

My powder horn matches your hat. 

 

Cap box is not mine.  I copied from a site.  Wish I had one. 

[copdoc]

Rubber band gun. 

 

I'm not sure of time period. It was my grandmother's.

Lots of great guns you folks have that bring back fond memories of growing up in the 60's.  I didn't save any of my arsenal.  So I hope you don't mind this clip from Get Smart.  I don't remember any Get Smart weapons. But I do remember some kind of Man From UNCLE pistol with all kinds of additions that could be put on it.  I also had a Star Trek "Phaser" pistol that shot little disks.  I looked absolutely NOTHING like any gun I ever saw on Star Trek, but it had the Star Trek name, logo and I think a picture of Kirk on the package, so of course I HAD to have one.

With the family connection, that is actually pretty cool!

Thanks Mikie. 

She was born in 1880s but I'm not sure when she got it. 

[GWS]

 Whats the rubber band capacity? Is it semi or full auto?  Clearly a WMD! 😜  You'll shoot your eye out!!!

[copdoc]

Lol. Just a single shot. I have a semi rubberband gun somewhere. 

 

The sooper dooper blooper gunn is however semi, full and burst fire.

Back when toys shot corks, ping pong balls and pieces of potatoes.

This "Western Haig" shot a lead #9 shot using a cap.  I had to glue it back together as I had worn it out like many of the others.  I lost the loading rod but have the box somewhere.  Heres a link to article on them.

Pics of my old Parris Kadet disappeared with host site. I think I got it Christmas 1958.  Diff model than mrhell's. The rubber bayonet fell apart. 

[copdoc]

I think its same model as scarecrow's.  That blue is hard to read diff models. it was in focus but I think res was decreased to add it.

I had no idea "Kadets of America" appears to have been an actual organization for kids.  Thanks for posting all that info!

You are welcome.  Sorry about quality of pics. Blue print plus led lights plus decrease res makes it hard to read.  There is advertisement for a  to 2 week kadet camp also.

In one of those strange coincidences that sometimes occur.  After posting the photos of the Parris Mfg. Kadet Rifle and then Bayonet, I needed to find a box to ship some items to a friend.  Went to my basement today to find a box large enough to fit the items I was shipping.  This is the box I found and didn't realize what it was until I got back upstairs!  I just didn't realize that Parris Mfg was even still in business.  Just was one of those Whoa moments today.

 I don't know if the 'Marksman' repeater is exactly a 'toy' but back in the day; 1960's, we sure used it as one. It lobbed, more than fired bb's. The derringer did something back when it was new but I'm not sure what?

[copdoc]

Marksman was kind of weak but it also shot darts as a single shot.  Pellets really lobbed out of it. 

 

When u figure out what derringer does let us know. 

[copdoc]

I found a dart.  I never had a new Marksman but another kid I knew did.  I think there were a few darts in the box.  12 ga is inert sales sample. it was handy for reference.
