Just a heads up to fellow collectors. Toy Tent has another one of their repro Daisy RR arrowheads listed on ebay with a canteen.

How do you know its a repro and why would anyone go to the trouble of reproducing these?

Quite a few years ago they were going for crazy prices and today still go for a decent price. Look up a post from earlier this year by "Iceman" to learn more. "Iceman", "panther1", and I have all purchased RR arrowheads from Toy Tent thinking they were genuine. Upon close examination it's apparent they all came from the same mold because they all exhibit the identical distinctive characteristics. I'm quite confident in my assertion that the Toy Tent RR arrowheads are repros. They should sell them as such!

I believe I have an authentic Daisy arrowhead. I did not buy it from tent. On the elevated figures show wear and worn spots. Around the necklace hold shows a little discoloration and wear. I have the original newspaper ad from the 1950s. I believe I paid $85
Willing to share photos and welcome comments Thanks Rodger in Cincinnati |

There'a an arrow hwad being sold on ebay with an average condition model 104, starts at $225.00 plus shipping. It is here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165484515592?hash=item2687a55108:g:f7MAAOSwtNFigkiy
I am not saying whether it looks legit or not simply because I do not have enough experience to know one way or the other. Maybe someone with experience has an opinion they would share? |
