The Rancho was introduced in 1962 and was
originally priced at TWENTY NINE CENTS!!! By this time older kids had quit playing
with toy guns and the little kids were less descriminating. Kusan was firmly in
control by now and the need was seen for cheap guns, of which the Rancho was
one that filled the bill. This gun was sold in bulk most of the time and carded
once in awhile.

were introduced. Photo by Robert Nichols
