The Buffalo Bill Gun was one of the first toys made by the Milton Bradley Company. The toy was based on the popular Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.[1] The strenuous life, so widely favored as the century drew to its close, was reflected in many games that Americans played at home.[1] The Milton Bradley Company, like many other game manufacturers, was alert to the trend.[1] As soon as Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show had proved to be popular, company technicians devised the Buffalo Bill Gun, a wooden model that shot wooden pellets.[1]
