Vintage coin purse gun purchased in Japan

We bought this leather coin gun toy in Asakusa, Tokyo today. the proprietor told us it shoots coins. we would love to figure out how to use it. the tag says GOING with a patent number, and the back says TIP GUN. Does anyone have any info on this toy or the Going company? Thank you for any help!

I love kids toys based on R rated movies!

Local seller listed the Alien micro machine playset for $50 so I jumped on that immediately. Once I arrived he mentioned the others. I couldn’t believe it! They’ve been on my want list forever!

"Hold Everything" - truly strange 1924 Board Game. Has anyone seen this before?

This was in my grandmother's house in Cincinnati with some other (more common) board games. The only reference I've been able to find to it online is in the American Game Collectors Assoc. 1998 "Game Catalog", which lists it under 1924. It still has the $1.00 price tag on the box.

I haven't read the directions in depth, but it appears that each player has an avatar which is either a 'clothed' or 'unclothed' (losing their clothes when they land on 'scare steps'). I'm guessing it wasn't popular and wasn't produced for long. Possibly because even in 1924, people decided that a game where toddlers were scared out of their clothes wasn't a great idea.

From the mismatch of the (amateurish) cover art and art inside the box, it looks like this started as a game where children had their clothes blown off. So, a bunch of progressively bad decisions went into this game of toddler strip poker.

Toy (ball) vending machines in Europe.

My wife is an admirer of toy vending machines. This year will be our ten year wedding anniversary. I am trying to find a very miniature version of a ball dispensing machine (as in dispensing ~10 balls) to put her engagement ring in to re-propose.

Does anything like this exist? I do not think a candy machine would work, as the ring would have to be unprotected and might jam.

We already have a full-sized machine at home, so I am looking for a miniature one for us to 'stumble-upon' on a hike.

Thank you for any help or direction.
