."Hubley" 1938 "Crash Car" three wheel Harley Davidson Motorcycle used by the insurance companies like AAA here in California, particularly southern California los Angeles, and local police stations to get to crash or breakdown sites quickly in congested "parking lot" highway situations. This cast iron piece is listed in Ernie Longs Dictionary of American Cast Iron Toys.

Here's a Nichols (Industries) derringer that came out in 1961.
Yours is a much better looking gun; especially the 'engraving'.
Yours looks older.

my grandmother gave me one of those derringers when I was about 6 or 7 years old. she kept telling me I lost it but I didn't recall ever owning one. my dad said it was just her way of giving me something when it wasn't my birthday/christmas or other holiday.

when we moved out of the city in 1974 it came up missing with the rest of our toys. we had put them in the rafters of my uncles garage, and a few years later they gave them away to charity. I hope whoever got it enjoyed it as much as I did.

us neighborhood kids used to play army all the time, I had that,a 1911 45 automatic and a bolt action elephant gun that shot plastic balls. we had a great time.
