DC Superman Krypto-Raygun Pocket Projector with Original Box (Daisy, 1940)....

Description

DC Superman Krypto-Raygun Pocket Projector with Original Box (Daisy, 1940). A vintage Superman Krypto-Raygun pocket projector set by Daisy, featuring bold Golden Age-style Superman box artwork and a pistol-shaped projector used to cast adventure picture stories onto the wall. The set includes the projector, interior display insert, lenses, and multiple 16 mm film strips, with the box advertising "196 Exciting Adventure Pictures" across seven Superman story films. The item appears complete in its original open box. The box shows moderate shelf and handling wear, including edge and corner wear, creasing, scuffing, toning, and surface staining, with additional wear to the interior tray and film strips from age and storage. The box lid has some edge tears and torn corners. The projector and contents show general handling wear. This item is untested, and no guarantee can be made regarding its working condition. A wonderfully early Superman novelty piece, this Krypto-Raygun brings comic-book adventure off the page and onto the wall, exactly the sort of strange, charming gadget that made the Man of Steel feel larger than life.
