Daisy BB Gun Expert - Values/Research/History



Welcome to my blog. My hobby is Daisy BB guns, toy guns, other type toys, ads, catalogs and Daisy paper of all kinds. I have a modest collection of BB guns and toys and an extensive library of Daisy information. I do my best to share Daisy information with others whether in the hobby or not. Have you found grandpa's old gun in the attic, basement, or barn? Wondering when it was made or how much it's worth? I'll help if I can. I specialize in guns made prior to 1958 in Plymouth, Michigan. I can help to a certain extent with guns made after that year in Rogers, Arkansas. Always remember that BB guns and pellet guns are NOT toys. Like any other gun, they can cause injury without proper training and safety awareness. Air rifles and pistols should never be purchased for Johnny, no matter his age, unless you are willing to train him, or get him training, in the proper use of the gun. These guns are fun! But must be treated with respect. Let me hear from you! Just comment here or email me at:

Hey there daisyzanne. The wire stock gun is what we call Daisy's "First Model." It was produced circa 1889. We know this because it carries a patent date of August 13, 1889. There were five variations made, but they are nearly impossible to discern unless you have the gun in your hand and can read the lettering on the lever. The one pictured is the 4th variation. I would value this gun in the $2,000 to $2,500 range.
