Everybody remembers Gabby from maybe some old Roy Rogers' westerns, but, do you remember him having his own T. V. show sponsored by Quaker Oats.He would stand on stage and point the "cannon" at the camera and say something like-"OK boys and girls stand back from your television sets." Then he would pull a cord and the cannon would shoot out oats or rice!
During that time, you could order a ring with a little cannon mounted on top. You could pull a little lever in the back of the cannon and being spring loaded, it was great for shooting spit wads at your friends. I was a sucker for that stuff!
