It measures 8" in length and stands 5 3/4" high. Everything is original and untouched as found. This cast iron toy was designed to use a roll of perforated caps as can be seen when the side door is opened to reveal the firing mechanism.
The child would turn the crank and the anti-aircraft gun would pop off the caps. The only flaw we could find was that the crank does not turn freely and most likely needs some attention, cleaning or a new spring. We are not toy experts or collectors but are sure a collector could easily get this toy functioning properly again.
For the age of the this cast iron toy we feel its in very nice condition and will make a terrific toy to display in someone's collection....
