This Firecracker Gun was hand made for all of the male grandsons of Charley Carroll of Miami, Oklahoma in the 1950's. As far as we know there is only one left in existence. It is owned by Ronnie Roy Edwards of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The end cap was unscrewed and a firecracker was inserted with the fuse protruding through the cut-out slot in the barrel. Then the cap would be screwed back on "TIGHT". The user would then extend the arm out straight with the barrel pointing into the air and away from everyone and everything. When given the command to fire, a second person would light the firecracker fuse and run like hill.......... P.S. I remember my cousin Joe Carroll did not follow the instructions nor good common sense and did not tighten the "Cap". Joe had his arm extended and the gun was pointed away from him, he touched off the firecracker fuse and....... BOOOOM!!!! The next time you meet Joe Carroll be sure to ask him how he got that big bump on his forehead and how long he laid on the ground unconscious. |
