Enjoy the trip down memory lane.

Biggest 2 Christmases of my life. 1974 got my first Daisy Powerline and 1976 got my Remington 552 Speedmaster. Still have both.
Everybody had some version of the red rider. The model 99 on the 4th page was my first experience with peep sights. Also had a model 25, 26, and 1894 over the years. Wouldn't take long for me to wear them out as much as I shot them.
I see a lot of stuff I never knew existed. Rechargeable toy trucks in 1965? I was only 4 then but I would think they carried them on through later years.

Brothers, cousins, and I had many BB wars in the woods and around the barns. Only two rules were not to shoot at the face and if someone was out of BBs they got passed. I got shot in the ass a lot and I returned the favor. We got very very fast at getting a sight picture and pulling the trigger.
My stepmom was an ER Nurse and removed a few BBs over the years. But never stopped us.

My brother and I both got Daisy rifles for Christmas on year but I don't remember the model. You probably couldn't use a metal detector in our parents yard because of all the bb's in the ground. Those rifles are long gone now but I still have my dad's Crosman Model 140 air rifle he had as a kid, and it still shots. I taught my boys to shoot with it before moving them on to 22's. Lots of fun.
I still got my Daisy Legacy Model 2202. Funny how so many people never knew that Daisy made a .22LR.
I remember my 1894 spitting image lever action BB gun.
My parents wouldn’t let me have a BB gun so had to save my money and buy one myself.
Bought it at Grants department store and hid it in the woods.
Would try to go every day and shoot it.
Someone found my hiding place and stole it.
I bought my son his first BB gun, of course it was a red ryder.
Second was a crossman 760.
We shot up all kinds of shit with those 2 guns in the back yard.
When he grew up he moved on from firearms altogether but I kept those two in the gun room.
He died at 33 a couple years ago, have a good friend and his little boy needed his first red ryder so I gave him Justin’s.
In a couple years he’ll need a 760 so I’ll give him Justin’s.
MAKE SURE YOU GIVE YOUR KIDS THEIR FIRST BB GUN.

The 1894 was my first and only BB gun. Got my start in the gun world with that one.
Did lawns to save up for a scope (1x) for it and my old man put it on for me.
Just to be able to relive those younger days.... Mac

Back in these days the seals are leather. Lots of times they come back with just some oil. Being also an airgun nut I have been around the bend on some of this stuff. If you really want to get it up and going I would try some oil, there is usually an oil hole in all of them. If that does not work check out GTA, they are THE airgun site.
I picked this up a few years ago after a LONG search, not Daisy, but interesting none the less. It is cocked by grabbing the barrel pulling it back then pushing it back forward and it would lock. A little like long recoil system in an A5 or Remington 8-81. When I got this several years ago it would not do any kind of pressure. About a week of a couple drops of 3 in 1 oil (remember those old cans) and it shot very well, IIRC it was roughly 500 fps, and that is quite good for this old gun.
One of the things I am on the hunt for. I have come across them from time to time but always a bit more then I wanted to spend at the time.
They also made this for a VERY short time. As I understand it is ignited powder due to the heat made when the piston compressed the air. ATF as usual made a new law and said this is a fire arm, and they stopped production.
