Here's a 1953 Butler Brothers / Ben Franklin Fall Catalog:

1396659327_1953benfranklincatcov.jpg.96a88a6f742ca58309bd7e3ac2ccad7d.jpg

containing these space water pistols and clicker guns:

I believe the V-H481 is the Electro Signal Gun:

The last sentence in the catalog description reads: "Each on card with battery and bulb."

and the V-H410 is the Irwin Space Gun:

Having trouble identifying the others. Can you help?

You are correct, Sir! I see it, now.

So, the only new info here is the 1953 date for the Electro Signal Gun. Next stop, the Timeline.
