1950? Mr. Fables Beef-burgs Air Popper Gun. Grand Rapids. $4.99 from Lee Whiteley Wills Point, TX, through eBay, March, '03.

By moving one's arm down rapidly, one catches the paper folded under the barrel of this gun. As this paper breaks out, it makes a "pop." The motto given here for Mr. Fables Beef-burgs is "To [sic] good to be true." On the back is a marker indicating that this is a sample of the Spotco G-Man Bang Gun, No. S 21. It is left to our imagination to figure out what fables have to do with beefburgers.
