Great finds! Boy I'd like to find a half. I believe that is the smallest toy gun I have ever seen. Very neat.

I dug one of those car tokens last week, I thought I had barber silver for a second as the date was turn of the century....but then I picked it up and it was light as a feather. Nice half, congrats.
