    Throw it in a container of 5% White vinegar - see what you have in the morning!

    Cool find! Would love to see it cleaned up (if possible)!

    Nothing I am familiar with... I doubt if it will clean up very much, but something may become visible. Good luck, Cheers, RickO

    I'd spray it with liquid wrench first, let it soak, gently brush off the loose rust and just maybe something embossed in the metal may come into view....or not! Good luck. Peace Roy

    I recall this toy as a click noise producing type. Depress the trigger to get a sound. Drill out the rivets, but I'd bet the guts are a rusted blob. Peace Roy
