Description
This traditional wooden pop gun is a proper old-fashioned toy, with a natural wood barrel banded in two blue stripes, a bright red sleeve and a curved red handle finished with a blue ring. A cork sits in the end of the barrel, tied on with a white string so it stays with the toy between pops. Pull the red handle back and a slim wooden plunger slides out; push it home sharply and the cork pops from the barrel with a satisfying sound. It is 21cm long, 2.5cm wide and 5.7cm high, a comfortable size for one hand, and it is made from wood with plastic, cork and metal parts.
It is the kind of simple, hands-on toy that earns a place in any toy box, on a playroom shelf or tucked into a bag for a day out. There is nothing to set up and nothing to plug in: the fun comes from a pull, a push and that cheerful pop. The bold red and blue colours and natural wood grain give it a classic look that sits happily alongside other wooden toys, and it has all the charm of the pocket toys many of us remember.
The barrel, sleeve and handle have a smooth finish in red, blue and the warm tone of natural wood, and the cork is held by a light white string. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe the wood with a damp cloth when needed, letting it dry naturally. It comes in a retro printed box, which makes it easy to wrap and gives it somewhere tidy to live between games: a small, cheerful gift that feels properly traditional.

You pull the red handle back to draw out the wooden plunger. Then you push it home sharply, and the cork pops from the end of the barrel.
