Pyro Pyrotomic Disintegrator Ray Gun Original 1953 Space Gun Grail in Mint state

Description

This is STILL the only COMPLETE, ALL ORIGINAL, non-reassembled, non-repainted, mint, time capsule condition COPPER and SILVER Pyrotomic Disintegrator ever listed for sale on ebay or anywhere else on the entire net at any time, that was molded, flawlessly assembled by general production in 1952/3 at Pyro Plastics and has remained assembled, exactly as issued, throughout the past 68 years.
That's why the ,000 price tag. There's not another one like it available for purchase anywhere in the world.
Split open and crudely re-assembled, re-glued, chewed up, re-painted, repaired, etc., etc. Pyro Disintegrators are JUNK, IMO, when compared to this 1953 time-capsule, time-machine, perfect, ALL ORIGINAL, as issued specimen.
HOW did it manage to survive in this pristine, untouched condition? What were the unique series of circumstances that yielded this once in a lifetime find?:
Found with other toys and Topps Cards dating from 1953 to 1955 in a sealed box in the full attic of my 143 year old family home in December of 2018.
The Pyrotomic Disintegrator is extremely rare and a highly sought after vintage space ray gun at the top of most collector's wish lists. Being very fragile and susceptible to damage, estimates among experts range from 10 to 15 known, with few, if any, purported to be in this extreme pristine condition. It doesn't look like it was ever played with. It was found in an old, large, sealed cardboard box, looking brand new. Gleaming. With perfect seams in perfect condition. Beautifully manufactured without glitches.
*Very important:  It has not been repaired, split and re-assembled, restored, fixed, altered with glue, paint, or in any other way. It hasn't even been cleaned. Not even a dusting. The condition you see pictured is the same as the day sealed in the time-capsule-like box about 66 years ago and the same condition as this past December, 2018, when I unsealed the large box of toys and carefully removed the ray gun from it. The box sat untouched in the same spot in the same attic since at least 1955. The box had a thick layer of dust on its sides and top but the contents were perfectly preserved in as immaculate shape as the same day it was manufactured.
The trigger and receiver work perfectly. I gently test "fired" it, pulling the trigger 2 or 3 times, each pull resulting in the proper, smooth motion of the moving parts and with a resounding click. Everything is tight. Nothing loose, rattling, separating, or cracked, this looks and performs like a brand new toy. Like it was 1953 and it was just picked as a perfect specimen from the assembly line.
According to ray gun enthusiasts, it's the find of a lifetime.. THE ray gun to own in THE condition. The last publicly offered complete Pyrotomic Disintegrator in fully working, high grade condition, was a candy red/blue/yellow one. It was auctioned by Hake's in 2015 for 00. The last publicly offered complete one prior to that was also a candy red/blue/yellow version. It too was auctioned by Hake's, in 2007 for 50.
An incomplete (firing rod broken off) red/blue/yellow separated and sloppily re-glued/glue painted version auctioned on ebay in December, 2020 for 25 (see last two pics of my listing).  A high grade copper/silver is rumored to have been sold for ,000 in a private sale, a number of years ago. Although I've searched dilligently for the past 29 months, I'm unable to find any past or present reference to a Mint copper and silver Pyrotomic ray gun ever being offered publicly, sold on ebay, or on the entire internet. That's how rare this piece is.
According to toyraygun.com, as per his text about this toy on his website page, "The rarest and most beautiful toy ray guns in the world":
"This toy is thought by many to be one of the most exceptional plastic rayguns ever produced. Only a few examples are known to exist".
The picture of the attic is the location where the large box of toys remained in place and undisturbed since 1955!
None of the very few copper and silver ones I've seen pictures of look quite like this one. It may very well be unique as far as known pieces that are as defect free and as perfectly manufactured like this one.

Collectors wait years, usually a decade or more, for just one Pyrotomic Disintegrator to show up for sale in any condition and those rare events usually occur privately. The condition of this find of a lifetime makes it THE grail of toy space ray guns. The #1 space ray gun toy in the #1 desired color, in the ultimate condition and the only listed as available for sale to the public, anywhere on earth, today.  Zappppp!!!.
