Daisy Dollar

[Jinglebob]

Today I was going through a box of old junk and came across this Daisy Dollar.

Back in the 1950's one of my birthday presents was a Daisy BB gun. It came with a Daisy Dollar. The BB gun is long gone but finding that dollar brought back memories from across time. I was so proud of that BB gun. I and must have shot a ton of BBs through it plinking at everything imaginable. Carrying that gun, I imagined myself a cowboy, an Indian scout and a sharp shooter. I carried the Daisy Dollar in the pocket of my jeans and pretended that I had just been paid after a long cattle drive.

It's probably not worth anything in terms of real money but to me it is worth a fortune in memories from a time when life was not all that serious and the world was willing to offer all that we could dream.

Daisy is still alive and well in the Ozark Mountains of north west Arkansas. I guarantee you they will be glad to sell you another BB gun to go with that dollar. Daisy Outdoor Products

Great post.

Great post.

I lost interest in the BB gun when Dad gave me my first .22 single-shot rifle. I think it would be fun to have a BB gun now and sit on the porch in the evening and shoot targets in the yard. It sure would be a lot cheaper than live ammo.

One of my grail guns is an air rifle.
Quackenbush custom in .45 would be spectacular.
