Rare Vintage 1960s Lyman Turnpike Toll Gun – Mechanical Coin Shooter Pistol
Up for sale is a fantastic piece of 1960s roadside history: an authentic, original Turnpike Toll Gun. Invented during the golden age of American highway travel, this spring-loaded novelty mechanical pistol was designed to accurately launch quarters or tokens straight into turnpike booth baskets so drivers wouldn't miss!
This heavy-duty mechanical gadget features a cast metal body, a bottom-loading magazine handle for holding a stack of coins, a classic black tracking ball plunger, and a smooth spring mechanism trigger.
Features & Details:
• Era: Mid-1960s original roadside automobilia collectible.
• How It Works: Coins load into the vertical handle magazine grip. Pull back the rear plunger knob to cock the spring, lock it into place, and press the metal thumb-trigger to fire the coin forward out of the top guide track.
• Quality Construction: Unrestored, dense cast-metal frame with its iconic industrial textured gray crinkle/hammered finish.
Condition:
Excellent vintage aesthetic and mechanical condition! The spring plunger mechanisms compress nicely, lock tightly, and fire smoothly when the trigger is released.
