Souvenir Friday- Adventureland Picture Gun

One of two variations of packaging for this great and fun toy from the 1950s. The Adventureland Picture Gun features some entertaining images from the jungle and is filled with various wild animal images. This toy was sold not only at Disneyland but also was available at five and dime stores throughout the United States. The other variation is a green box that is more of a closed box. I believe the yellow one is the first version. A fun toy in a fun package.

I've always wanted one of these! So neat to see it in the original box.

Very unusual. I love the box art. Major was right. You do have an amazing extensive Disneyland collection. Thanks for sharing it.
