Was giving a very old wall hanger today

[Arrowhead]

An old farmer down the road from me were talking today about the old times. He mentioned that he had a old BB gun with some BB's not wroth anything but wanted to know if I wanted for a wall hanger? I said lets see it ..... and oh boy what a cool old Benjamin. The BB's are in a sewn up in a bag that have never been opened either. 
Who on here would know the year that this was produced.? And if it's got any value?

Not that I could see sorry.

It's an old front pump style. the pump pulls out from the front, and the gun is pumped by putting the end of the pump arm on the ground and pushing the gun down. They're not all that rare, but it is pretty old. Do a Google search and you should find out more.

I just did a quick search and found this-

If you want to clean it up a little, a gentle rub with oil and OOOO steel wool will remove the rust without removing the finish.

Very nice item to have.

The gun is brass-steel wool will take off the finish.

Cool ! Love old stuff. 
So are the BBs lead or steel ?

Looks like a Benjamin 700 series from the 1930s. The bag of shot is also interesting. Could be mild collector interest in both.

There are probably Benjamin experts here who can give you real advice.

Here's the pic from the linked page-listed as a Benjamin model 300.

That looks like it exactly but obviously in much better shape. LOL

I was going to 1940's or 1930's
