This is a wonderful Spy toy from the 1960\'s. I believe specifically 1965. Vintage Secret Sam Attache Spy Case toy for the secret agent imagination. It is all original except for two of the smaller size cartridges. These are reproduction shells.Complete except for an instruction sheet that is available also as a reprint should one desire it. This was one of the most popular secret agent spy toys of it\'s time. Especially with the James Bond craze of the 1960\'s. It is 16\'\'x12\'\'x3\'\' when closed. All the contents are seen in the pictures. Looks to be used very little if at all. A great toy collectible. Quoted articles appear below for your reading more in depth.This is a recap of this vintage pop cult toy.The greatest Secret Sam weapon of all, however, was the Secret Sam Attache Case. It was a briefcase filled with every cool gadget a young spy could possibly need on a mission. There was a pistol, naturally, with molded grip and attachable scope; with the addition of a stock, it could be turned into a rifle, for more accurate and long-range dealing of death. It also came with a silencer, a \'message missile\' to inform colleagues of important classified information, and even a periscope for situations when sticking one\'s head over a wall might prove too dangerous. The case itself wasn\'t just a carrying device; its interior was situated in such a way that the pistol could be fired from inside the case, so that one could take out a target in a crowded area and make a clean exit without being detected. There was also a concealed camera with a lens on the outside, so that surreptitious photos could also be taken for safe reconnaissance.Topper Toys\' \"Secret Sam Attaché Case\". This apprentice spy received one for Christmas in 1965 and he doesn\'t remember a cooler toy since.The elaborate plastic Attaché had all the makings of a spy survival kit. There was the basic pistol, complete with scope, which shot two kinds of white plastic bullets, long range and short range. In addition, there was a silencer and barrel extension (which really DID deaden the sound) and a stock which converted the pistol into a rifle. A periscope fastened to a yoke behind the handgrip, perfect for peering over obstacles and around corners. You can\'t be too careful in the spy game! In addition, the pistol/rifle was capable of shooting a \"message missile\", a plastic housing slid off the missile body and a paper message could be wrapped around it. Once the housing was replaced, it could be shot over long distances to a fellow agent or operative.One of the neatest features was that the weaponry could be operated while the Attaché was closed. A secret button on the briefcase\'s side would allow the firing of a round through the narrow side of the Attaché if needed. Quite handy. And on the other narrow side, a working camera was nestled within the Styrofoam interior shell, and could be operated from a secret button outside the case, perfect for photographing would-be assassins and conspirators.The Secret Sam line also included a smoking pipe which could fire bullets while clenched in one\'s teeth (not very politically correct today!) and the \"Six Finger\" gun, an artificial index finger which fired bullets and missiles of various sorts. Though they were fine toys, they never held the cachet of the Secret Sam Attaché\'. While it listed for $6.88 in the 1965 Sears Christmas catalogue
