When I started collecting these many years ago, I was cannon-happy! I wasn't too selective in buying them as they were not that common around here. Some are missing the flint striker mechanism, but I have 3 that are operative.

Those are real gems. I always wanted one when I was a kid, but never did get one. I seem to remember them being sold at the fireworks stands around 4th of July.

I remember seeing ads for them in the back of comic books for a couple of bucks.

I had the small carbide cannon as a kid! I think that explains much now that I think about it...
