Toy Ray Guns

That would be cool to see.

I have even older ones- metal Buck Rogers pop guns from the early 1930's and 40's.  When I get around to putting them on photo bucket, I'll post a few pics.  They also are in exceptionally good condition, and would you believe they still work?  When you swing the handle forward, you compress air in a chamber, and when you pull the trigger, you get a really good loud "pop!"  Most of these disappeared into metal scrap drives at the beginning of WWII.

Those are nifty.  I have a few phasers in storage, from various "Star Trek" tie-ins, but nothing that goes back farther than the first ST movie.
