Toothbrush Gun
I believe that this Cowboy/Cowgirl Toothbrush gun was for sale in the mid-1970s, because the only ads I can find for it are from 1976 and 1977.
Odd concept since it required the kids to stick the gun in their mouth. Perhaps the game was suicidal cowboy.
The packaging states that it's protected by Patent No. 3,063,204. That's incorrect. Patent 3,063,204 has nothing to do with a toothbrush gun. I think the correct Patent is No. 3,308,836.

Comments
The bristles are on the wrong side of the barrel, so this patent is invalid. (Yes, that's ridiculous, but so are many real patent disputes.)
