My grandfather had one of these he left to my cousin in Nova Scotia I was already in Montreal but when I went back to visit I found it in my cousin shed we were looking for helmets for the ATVs and found it I was soooo confused at first it was sooooooooo badly damaged and rusted out we knew don't bother even trying to shoot it but pretty cool toys back the day man being a 89 baby we didn't really get these cool things growing up in Montreal videogames started making its way in and slowly did the cool "dangerous" toys soon go away I remember my first slingshot glow in the dark bands on a wooden Y shape my uncle carved and never put it together just had to cut the holes for the elastics
Interesting you say your grandfather owned, it was likely his as a kid, who knows?
I'm not a grandfather only because I never had kids but I'm the age of one. My childhood friend at the time owned this and if my memory is correct, it could have been his dad's? My guess, and I could be wrong......This unit could be late 40's mid 50's.
I'm thrilled someone remembers it.
