Got mine for Christmas in 1961, it still works! Found another one sitting outside on the hood of a junk truck at a neighbors a couple years ago, couldn’t believe my good luck! Neighbor said he did a cleanout on a property put up for sale & brought it home. It sat outside for about 6 months before I talked him into selling it (for $10!)…..it faded & rusted a little sitting out, but….yep, it still works too! Had to get new flags (mine was cloth but kinda ‘battle-worn’ from us kids back in the day & the passing years didn’t help either) & make styrofoam cannonballs and new ramrods for both. My original one still has the original tow and trigger cords, the one I found only had the trigger cord. They were fun when I was 8 & my grandkids are still having fun with them when I’m 70!😊

I've Never Seen A Toy Like That In Decades Because they don't make toys like that anymore because I wasn't a kid back in the 60's since I wasn't born yet since this toy was then around & I know that toy was dangerous to kids who'd owned one then because toys weren't always absolute safe in the 60's plus that cannon has a Southern Rebel flag that came with it .

Like anything else, they were only as dangerous as the person using them.

They could bruise you if you were really close & got hit (like less than 5 feet) & stung a little but I don’t remember any of us actually getting hurt from the cannon fire. Now falling down while running away, well… that did leave a few skid marks & scars! Sure was fun growing up then….cap guns that shot plastic bullets, Jarts, bows & arrows that had real pointed metal tips, BB guns that pumped up….. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world!😊
