Joe K. Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 See here:http://cgi.ebay.com/PONDER-HARDWARE-1952-S...1QQcmdZViewItemThe first photo is the dated catalog imprinted with the Ponder Hardware Company name. The 1952 date is on the clock near the top of the cover.Scroll down to the 6th image for the page with the Ideal 3 Color Space Ray Gun. It looks like the pictured weapon may be the more rare black color variation. More common were the red & blue and blue & red color variations. This ray gun can be found in both Ray Gun and Zap! and on Doc Atomic's Attic of Astounding Artifactshttp://www.atomicbox.net/dratomic/index.html(as part of his Atomic Armory)http://www.atomicbox.net/dratomic/threeway.htmland on Rocket's web site Toy Ray Gunhttp://toyraygun.comIt was here that I found a picture of the box which identifies this sidearm as the 3 Color Space Ray Gunhttp://www.toyraygun.com/boxart/spaceray.jpegNow...if someone might be able to add the photos to this post, please. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dratomic Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Great find, Joe! This gun is older than I'd thought. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll post the pics up when I get home tonight. (Posting this from the office...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
