Reading the thread about the Disneyland Haunted Mansion brought back
memories of a toy I had.  It was a polystyrene model of the 20,000
Leagues & Haunted Mansion organ.  It shot little plastic pinecones from
the pipes.  I think this was supposed to be the music.  As I recall the
trigger was the ghost organist.  You pulled him back and the pinecone
shot from the pipe.

It was a kit and had to be glued together and painted.  I recall
getting glue in the mechanism so it never really worked.  I suppose
something like this would be banned now as it could put someone's eye
out, not to mention the choking hazard.  I think there were warnings
to the latter.  It became, in the end, a doll house prop.  I wonder
if my parents still have it in a box somewhere.

Anyone else ever see one of these?
