BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Group of Vintage Toy Cap and Pop Guns
This group consists of mid-twentieth-century toy firearms constructed from die-cast metal and pressed tin. The collection features a variety of cap gun models and a single pop gun mechanism. One large silver-tone pistol is decorated with ornate floral scrollwork on the slide and bears the markings NO-8 and JAPAN. A small grey die-cast pistol is embossed with the name DICK alongside an eagle motif and scrollwork, featuring grips with a circular bird medallion. Another silver-tone die-cast model is marked GIANT AUTO on the left side and GIANT AUTOMATIC on the right side. The group also includes a black pressed tin pop gun with a copper-toned muzzle and a spring-loaded plunger mechanism at the rear. Additional items include a black die-cast pistol with brown textured grips featuring a circular logo medallion, a small black pocket-style pistol with a silver-colored barrel, and a utilitarian grey die-cast pistol with checkered grips.
Condition report:
