Cool 007 Spy Guns From Hake's

 
I missed out on an item I bid on because someone went insanely over his budget and it wasn't me. Hated to let that lot go but sometimes that is the way the Auction Gods work. So I looked around Hakes for more insanely priced but beautiful collectibles. I always thought that briefcase was slick.
 
$300
 
Multiple Toymakers. c.1965. 13x19.5x2" deep box contains vinyl shoulder holster and 8" long plastic cap-firing, missile-launching gun and separate 3" long "palm" gun which also shoots cap. Holster has some wear on gold logo and missing thin generic vinyl body strap. Gun could be used to shoot missile or message missile. Includes cardboard punchout disk from box lid that has instructions printed on it. Scarce and Exc. Strips of tape that held gun/missile into insert have left tan marks on insert but otherwise box is essentially VF with Exc contents as issued.
