SpinRay blast pistol
Manufactured in the 1940s by Brewer and Armstrong, Michigan, USA, the SpinRay blast pistol is an interesting and rare toy that was only recognised by ray gun collectors about 10 years ago.
Measuring 16cm x 12cm, this cast-aluminium toy features a lever, flywheel, and spring mechanism connected to a propeller. When the trigger is pulled, a small gear attached to a long rod spins the propeller, creating a dynamic visual effect.
Now over 80 years old, the SpinRay blast pistol remains a fascinating piece of toy history, with surviving examples still in working condition.
