It is the gold colored one and still works fine. It is in excellent condition considering it was used quite a bit as a kid. If anyone is interested in it I would be willing to trade for another vintage toy. Im looking for a Shoot'n-shell 45 by Mattel in decent shape (for my brother).

It was a tracing tool. It was a simple contraption, with a pencil at one end, they usually showed some kid tracing his coloring books onto blank paper, in the commercials. I wish I had one! I am a seamstress now and often create patterns,, how easy it would be to make alterations by tracing my patterns out just a bit or alot bigger if I could get my hands on one of these! I think it was called Magic Trace or something like that,, i have done a web search and am coming up empty,, maybe I don't have the right name for it.

LOVED IT!! It was my favorite gun toy. Those little plastic discs were all over the house and yard. As i grew up and the toy was long gone, i would still occasionally find those little plastic discs laying around, long since forgotten, embedded in time, buried in a dirt mound or underneath an old carpet or piece of furniture. I wish i could revisit those days of being a kid running around with it beaming people, pets, GI Joe, whatever was in my sights. Those discs seemed to travel a good distance when you're a kid. I used to try to cram as many of those discs as i could in the little chamber, sometimes too many. Me and my brother would sometimes dare the other to press the barrel right against our hand, body-part, or temple and fire it to see if it hurt. Of course it stung a little bit. This toy was a vital part of my childhood and i have always remembered it. Just seeing the packaging brings back so many memories... I had a Star Trek tracer gun when i was a kid. LOVED IT!!

Did we somehow have all the same toys? I've recently found originals of the SSPs I've had and I've bought some Sizzlers as well. We still have a couple of the original Star Trek tracer guns. Did you ever notice that you could shoot the tracer guns at your brother in a mirror and it would perfectly richochet and hit him? What are you, my freakin’ brother or something?

I knew what it was right off the bat as I had one too, brought back the memories. It was cool finding your page with the shots of it!
