I have one I found too. I also found one with a star on it. Love them older cap guns. I think every kid in America had one growing up in the 40's/50's. (Didn't want to reveal my age) :laughing7:

There was a movie called "Smoky" made in 1946 with Fred MacMurray and Anne Baxter.

The gun could have been produced in connection with the movie.

I found the same gun last fall and I was surprised at how well it held up being in the ground.
