Space Signal Gun & Graphic Box

Space Ray Gun ~ 1960's

Electric Light Ray Pistol

This exceptional toy comes in a small box, 5 ½ by 4 ¼ inches, and an inch thick. The top of the box has extraordinary graphics of a boy on the moons lunar surface, in a space suit, with the Earth, hanging in space, in the background. He is signaling another person across the terrestrial moon terrain with his Space Signal Gun. The box graphics are distinctive 1960's Science Fiction style. The front and back panels both say, Space Signal Gun, with an illustration of the gun. The end panels both say, "Uses two standard penlite batteries".

The gun is 6 inches long and has a small bullet tethered to the bottom to help "holster" it onto your spacesuit. The light ray source is a small incandescent bulb with a built in condensation and ray focusing lens. You use the trigger as a signal key. Each time you pull the trigger the light ray goes on. You can also 'Cock" the pistol hammer back and the light stays on, when you pull the trigger it shuts it off. Made of colorful, hard plastic. It comes with an instruction sheet that includes the Morse Code. All works great and is in Perfect Condition.
