1950s Vintage Spinray Blast Pistol Scarce Toy Space Ray Gun w Propeller EX Shape

  
You wont find another one for a long time esp this nice. Most of these when they do surface the propeller is missing. Mine has the propeller and works. You have to press the trigger and release pretty fast for it to spin. Heres a brief summary on the history of this i pulled.

There are few toy ray guns that are more interesting, sought after, or illusive than the Spinray Blast Pistol. Made by Brewer and Armstrong of Kalamazoo, Michigan, probably in the late 1940s, this cast aluminum toy gun features nine vertical fins on the front of the barrel which is tipped with a whimsical red propeller that spins each time the trigger pulled. Since it was discovered by ray gun collectors about ten to fifteen years ago, only a handful of the guns have ever been found, and most of these are missing their propeller. So little is known about the Spinray that the name of its maker was only discovered a few years ago, engraved on the inside of the gun's casing.

The Spinray works through the use of a lever, flywheel and spring mechanism. A string, attached at one end to the trigger and at the other to a spring anchored in the bottom of the gun's handle, causes a flywheel to rotate when the trigger is pulled. In turn, the flywheel rotates a small gear which is attached to the end of a long rod connected to the propeller.

My toy does show some use but is not bad at all. The propeller is originally red and now just shows small remnants of Red Paint. Please see photos of this outstanding piece. I priced this fairly for what it is.
