WTS Antique Darringer .22 cal $900 TIN MAN

[Uncle Limpy]

This is a nice little pocket gun that was owned and carried by Jack Haley (TIN MAN) during the filming of The Wizard of Oz in 1939. Mr. Haley was deathley afraid of antique furniture, rubber balls and midgets. He insisted he be armed during the entire shoot. I believe $900 is a fair price for a piece of cinamatic history. I would also be willing to trade this for a wheat penny collection (maybe).

Do you have any way of verifying this pistol's history?

How big a collection of wheat pennies are you looking for?

For those of you that have interest in the .22 listed above. You may want to go to this web address and look about 1/3 of the way down. What do you think??

Just click on the red letters, sorry.

Wow looks identical, TIN MAN must not have been the only person afraid of midgets. Apparently so were lots of cowboys

Just to keep this from turning into an instant flame-fest, I'm closing this thread temporarily. Uncle Limpy, please PM me or another Moderator with details if this is legitimate so we can open it back up for you.

I received this PM from Uncle Limpy (but unfortunately had already called it a night... sorry):

Hi Pami,
The listing was an inside joke with a couple other forum members. They had a man offer to trade them wheat pennies to some guns. It was all in good humor. I priced it so high that nobody in their right mind would be intrested. Keep the thread closed. The ones who were supposed to see it, saw it. They both have called me and razzed me a bit. haha. It was not meant to confuse anyone.

It's Fenway's call as to whether the ban is lifted.

For future reference for everyone: if something is an inside joke, you might want to make a teeny tiny notation of it so it doesn't confuse the rest of us and earn you a bad reputation.
