Item Description
24" long rifle has wooden stock. Patented in 1902, shortly after Roosevelt assumed the presidency following McKinley's assassination. One side of stock has uniformly dark finish, the other half dark finish and half worn to lighter shade of brown wood. The rest of the rifle is metal that likely once had silver flashing but is now a uniform dark gray. Stamped on one side of chamber is "Rough Rider Teddy's Pom Pom." Opposite side has "Toy Gun Mfg. Co. Chicago Patent Allowed." Spring-loaded hammer cocks and fires. Barrel front flares out to hold a ball (not included). We aren't sure how ball was fired because, while mechanism works, there is no air blast or moving part to propel the ball from the opening. A Fine, working example of a rare toy gun. The only other early character (or person) related toy rifle we know of is for Buffalo Bill, 1887.
