Finally got out and posting

[House]

I found a couple Rosies and a few Wheaties and alot of "copper dimes" (thats for you AirForce1). I am finally part of the Tootsie Toy club ... My wife thought I was wierd when I let her know how happy I was to find one. It still has all of it wheels! The cap gun hammer still works. The only thing I could find on the net was it is from the 50's. I think the GS badge in nice, It still has the stick pin on the back. I hope the pics turn out. Thanks for looking.

I enjoy reading all of your posts!!!

I couldn't see any writing on it Master Sarge.

However I did find this link of one for sale :

Also I found if you shine a blue LED light on your hard to read coins ie.. dates; it makes it easier to see.

Thanks House for the link. Looks like we found a cool little collector item. How old do you say the guns are? Someone told me late 1800's / early 1900's. What do you think?
