Sixfinger was an oddball toy released by Topper Toys, a subsidiary of the De Luxe Reading Corporation, in 1965 at the height of the spy craze.
You could insert the various tips into the end of the finger, most of which shot out (and probably put some poor kid's eye out).
It looked a lot cooler than it was, at least in my experience. I could never quite get the hang of nestling it between my thumb and forefinger.
I don't remember if I got tired of it, or if my mother threw it away because she was afraid I'd shoot my sister with it (a reasonable assumption back then), or got sick of listening to the annoying "code clicker."
Anyone else remember having one of these?
