3. This was a toy made by Milton Bradley in 1922

One of them just sold on a gun auction web site for $800.00.

This 1922 "Big Dick" Machine Gun is a rare antique. Manufactured in 1922 by the Milton Bradley Company, Springfield, Massachusetts. The only flaws are some minor paint scratching and a small tear in the ammo belt. The barrell is made of wood, the tripod is made of iron, and the ammo belt is canvas. It comes with 34 of its original 36 wooden bullets. The barrell is of wood smoothly bored, 13/16 inch diameter at the muzzle, 1 1/4 inches diameter at the breech--all parts painted black. Complete length, 22 inches, height, 9 1/2 inches. The ammunition consists of bullet shaped wooden slugs. 1/3/4 inches long. It comes with the original cover, but unfortunately, most of the box no longer exists. The cover has been attached to a wooden frame for preservation. The entire gun is original, not one part has been refurbished, replaced, or restored. It also comes with papers from Bradley's Games, one dated 1922 and the other 1926. This would be a very unique addition to any toy gun collection.
