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.
