Joe K. Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 See: http://cgi.ebay.com/1953-Wes-ko-Cosmic-Jet...1QQcmdZViewItem And, specifically: http://www.whentoyswerefun.com/53605.jpg Can anyone confirm the month of this 1953 trade ad in Toys and Novelties? It looks like February to me. Nice image of the original packaging for this water pistol, too. This one doesn't turn up in either ZAP! or Ray Gun. It's not on ToyRayGun.com or part of Doc's Atomic Armory. Anyone have it in their collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks Klaus! It worked!! Great tip. :) Great raygun. I wonder if advertisements like these have ever been printed up and sent out for prototypes that either never really made it to market or were changed before they got to the stores? The handle looks familiar but the front of the gun is different than any I've seen before. I hope that's not the case with this gun because I'd love to find one someday but it might explain why we've never seen one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 This event in 1953 may account for why they're hard to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
