Now this is just cool! It looks just like the tin toys that came out of Japan after the second world war. I collect those things, and they did the very thing that you are doing, they recycled cans to make the tin toys. If you take many of them apart, you'll find the toys were make with food cans, or oil cans. Actually, in the lmid-1920's to late 1930's, American tin toy manufacturers recycled tin cans as well. I have a tin tiddly winks type game that uses balls instead of winks and the cups of the game are made with a Gargoyle Mobiloil F can. (that's the only reason why I bought that one). You ray pistol looks like something that Marx toys would put out, "lithographed" printing and all. I'm just amazed and jazzed that you make these terrific things and out of repurposed materials. Practically swooning over the "play wear" details too.
