Hand made child's clacker pistol

Just under 11 inches long and all hand made with the initials J.W.N. stamped on the butt of the gun.  Made from a solid piece of wood with some nice off balance elements to it.  Hard to know the date but I'd guess 1940's - 1960's.  It has a revolving trigger that clicks the underside strip every time the trigger is pulled to produce the gunfire sound.




Hand made child's toy clacker pistol

Just under 9 inches long and made in southern Ontario circa 1900.  Well used and loved - missing the cylinder on one side.  It has a revolving trigger that clicks the underside nailed piece each time the trigger is pulled.



Folk art hand carved toy tommy gun

24 inches long and hand carved/whittled from end to end and showing good age/patina.  Proudly displaying the owner's name in a few places.  A child's toy gun that had a lot of time put into its making.






Folk art carved articulated figure

12 inches with a wonderfully expressive face and fully articulated arms and legs.  Hard to date, maybe 1920's - 1940's.  Normally, I wouldn't keep the clothes, but I think these hand made, sewn on clothes go well with the piece.
