John Clark if you are reading this I will never forgive you for standing on the rifle butt of my Secret Sam and smashing it accidentally when I was 7......I got my own back years later.....I shagged your sister.....

I had it, and loved it. It was my favorite toy as a kid. I did take pictures with it, too. When my family moved in 1968 (I was 11) it disappeared... I think my mother took the opportunity to "disappear it", as she hated toy guns, and hated my beloved Secret Sam. Well... maybe it got left on the roof of the car... some lucky kid might have found it on the side of the road. There was another attache kit... a rip off of this... with a missile launcher in the case. What was the name of that one?

Topper was a very successful toy company of the 1960s. It gave

us boys toys such as Secret Sam, Johnny Express and the pop-

ular Johnny Lightning racing cars. For girls there was the Suzy

Homemaker appliances, and dolls such as Penny Brite, Suzy

Cute, Dancing Dawn and Miss Smartypants. Sadly Topper

died in the early 1970s due to bankruptcy.

Had one of these.used 126 roll film, but never figured out why you'd want a periscope on a gun though.

I got this for Christmas back in 1965. Never did get film for the camera though.

I had this toy, oh wow! It sure was fun, shot hard plastic bullet shaped projectiles outlawed in later toys. I actually took the camera to school and photographed my friends, the only non-class photos of anyone then. I was 7 and my teachers were amazed when I brought in the developed small square black and white pictures.

This commercial aired on AMC's American Pop a few years ago. Around 2000 I believe, which is the only reason why I even know about this commercial. (90's baby)

[FWalshingham]

Well, roughly equivalent.

Anyone have the Man from Uncle atache case? Or a photo? I carried it to 4th grade school an entire year. Today, I would be arrested and tasered in my balls by the cops. Then arrested as an international terrorist

[LGMtank]

Wow... nostalgia city for me.

I got one for Christmas when I was a kid. Probably the coolest toy I ever got.

I clearly remember accidentally shooting my dad in the lip with the gun. I didn't think I had cocked the gun before I put it in the case. When I pushed the button, he was hit!

Had it. Loved it. Collectors item. Does any one remember the toy riot gun? Complete with gas grenade?!
