I Found Something Extremely Mega Rare Today

[AusTexDude]

This is a gem. You will probably never see one like it again. Circa 1940s-1950s Fully auto cap gun made by an LA company called Cordelco.
I can not find a single image of this toy online. I used eBay, Google, and 2 different AI models. Nothing zilch.

The only refs to this I found were 2 newspaper clippings from the mid 50s mentioning the company.

and it had none of that sissy orange tip on the end either!

I remember the smell. Loved that.

my favorite, it actually shot spring loaded plastic bullets, with a red stick on cap on the shell.

That would of been a sweet rig to have as a kid. They use to have some of the coolest toys.

We use to spray paint the tips black. For Realism.

🤣
Couldn't be running around the neighborhood playing guns with an Orange Tip gun.
🤣
I remember making Numchucks out of an old Broomstick the day after seeing Enter The Dragon.
🤣 They turned out pretty good. Every kid did.

I should not have told about mine. It gives a hint to my age LOL

Age is a state of mind ! BUT I'm way past that stage and I don't care about it anymore !

I remember having one of these. I kept having trouble with the bullets going in the gun. As kid dirt was my problems a LOT
