If these were used it was VERY LITTLE! What is this lot worth? Thanks!

    Not much, you can buy a new one for $30 or less.

    This is more of a toy collector, 50's-60's Westerns paraphenalia collector set so I'd look or list it on E-Bay. Your box and supporting materials look to be in excellent condition and should make a big difference in the set's value, taking the BB guns themselves ahead of garage sale prices.

    If you get no nibbles, you could always bundle it as an auction item for your local Boy Scouts Banquet as it would likely go better in that context. Your CPA can tell you what your tax deduction would be for the gift, I suspect it'd be the auction price.

    eBay doesn't allow BB guns and will remove your auction. List them on Gunbroker.

    Go to some of the Daisy forum sites. Could probably give you an idea of value and maybe even a buyer.

    criminalpoet,

    Your guns & accessories look like recent-production, comemorative items. Your levers appear to be plastic. Are they plastic? When were they made?

    No the levers are made of metal and the rest of the furniture is walnut...I dont know when they were made but im thinking 70's maybe? A date of production isnt on the guns nor the boxes...

    Didn't realize E-Bay wouldn't handle BB guns, strange. The graphics on the boxes and manuals are 1960's-early 1970's (typography goes through trends like any other fashion and I'm an old typeslinger.) The suggestion above about tracking down Daisy collectors groups on the website is your best shot at finding the highest possible price since they'll appreciate (or disparage) the full package more than anyone else. An enthusiast is always a more profitable customer than a casual shopper.

    I'm pretty sure they are from the 80's, I've got a couple of the same ones.

    Me, too. I've got a 50th Anniversay Model made in 1988 with the same box and paperwork. There should be a printing or copyright date on the manual or warranty. The medallion may also give a year but I can't read it.
