smallest gun I have ever dug.

Found these on my last search of a 1920-30 dump site. I believe the small revolver is a Cracker Jack toy and the hammer may be also, but not sure. It took a little effort to get them to this condition, was surprised the gun barrel remained. Thanks for lookin,vn

The gun should be lead. Never saw a small hammer like that. I love the old lead toys. Congrats

Those are tiny - nice recovery!

Very cool congrats on the finds

Neat finds! Could be a tack or Cobblers hammer.

Great finds. I found a little hammer too that I thought was a toy at first but it was heavily used on closer inspection...

Cool toys, congratulations!

I think Kentucky was right, maybe a cobbler hammer.....maybe yours too. They look very similar and small as well.

Congrats on the toy finds. When I was a little one back in the 60's my dad bought me a carpenters tools set (hoping that I'd stay out of his tools) that came in a wooden case. It came with a hammer head somewhat like the ones I see on this post.

The generation that followed you got plastic tools...most kids today don't even know how to swing a hammer.How times have changed. So, is that a pic of your tools you held on to all these years?

Sorry I do not have any of them. Found the pic online. I am glad I was raised in an era where you didn't need a warning label on a bottle of Vodka, back when people had some common sense. Some tools were broken, a few misplaced, and the few remaining were given to my younger brother along with the wooden case after I was old enough to use " Dad's" tools.

Both guns remind me of toy spring loaded guns that I used to play with in the early 1970's. These guns were a HUGE hit at my elementary school, something everyone had to have! See pic
