Quoted from Joe's post:

"Gallagher's book does show a logo that consists of the letter "Y" in a circle. It is identified as belonging to the company: Sanko. I'm not sure if this is the exact same logo that appears on the ray gun ."

Thanks for the insight there, Joe old boy. :mellow: So, it's not Yone, nor Yonezawa eh? :huh: Sanko, hunh...well, whoever they were, they produced a damn fine ray gun. :blush:

The Sanko trademark on a box top. I wonder, does Sanko still exists?

The first six logos can be found in William C. Gallagher's book, Japanese Toys. The last one I took from the box for the first release of the small, wind-up Mr. Atomic that came out a few years ago. I labeled it "???" because I'm not sure exactly what company it is.

So, Brady, which trademark is on your Space Ray Gun?

So, this incredibly awesome, beautifully designed tin-litho gun, was made by some generic Japanese toy maker :blink: , go figure. :blush:

Cheer up! You can take your choice of trademarks: Aoki, TT or Sanko.

Now, that close-up of the logo looks more like Sanko to me, Brady. Perhaps, both logos are Sanko? An evolutionary process? I just don't know for sure.

Either way, it is a damn, fine ray gun!
