Mattel Shooting Shell Fanner with Holster/Belt Set
Original holster & belt. The Mattel Toy Company really locked up the western toy gun market with the introduction of its Fanner 50 pistol in 1958. The company aggressively developed the Fanner line, which led to the development of the Shootin' Shell line of western guns. This was one of a few cap guns that shot 'bullets' (the bullets were never really shot out of the gun, but looked like bullets and they loaded like bullets). You would put a stick-on cap (Greenies) on the end of the bullet and then when the trigger was pulled, the cap would fire and the cylinder turned. These actual bullet guns were so popular that many were overused and no longer work. This Fanner is in good working condition It does have some finish loss and a cover over a bolt on the grips.
