Before the famous Daisy Red Ryder BB gun debuted in 1940, Daisy broke ground in 1932 by signing its very first celebrity personality endorsement deal with Buzz Barton (born William \"Red\" Lamoreaux). Known as the \"Western Prodigy,\" Barton was a real-life champion cowboy and trick rider who became one of the highest-paid child silent movie stars of the 1920s and 30s. This 1935 holster set was produced during the height of his fame, capitalizing on the massive Depression-era craze for youth cowboy star memorabilia.Item Condition & Details:
