JOHN DILLINGER'S HANDGUN $4.95

FOR THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER, GET THAT SPECIAL MAN OR WOMAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING DILLINGER'S ROD - 

Up for debate: Did John Dillinger break out of prison using a mock gun he carved from a bar of soap? Far as I can tell no one really knows. 

I’m up for believing the soap theory.  It sounds like it would be something infinitely easier to acquire while doing time, and simple to fabricate using a spoon or stick.  Carving a gun out of wood, well that would require using a knife and if he had the knife why make a fake gun, leaves my brain spinning…

While we speculate, real dollars are at stake, as I write, the Heritage Auction Galleries have up for auction the wooden gun he purportedly used in his escape.   Current bid is $13,000, with Christmas coming soon, and ya’ll not knowing my dress size, you’d best put your offers in now as I’d love to own a piece of that action.  There is also a two part plaid hunting suit  that belonged to Dillinger which I covet, though it is a bit matchy matchy and the stirrup pants look a twee uncomfortable…

The real gun may be somewhere else all together.  The official John Dillinger Museum in Hammond Indiana, claims to have the pistol on display according to the “Northwest Tourism Czar Speros Batistatos” and with a name and title like that, I’m inclined to believe him.

If you want to own your own piece of history, can’t drive out to Indiana or fork over $15G for a probable fake, visit my Etsy shop where soap guns can be had for a very reasonable four dollars, while supplies last.

What have we told you about leaving fingerprints every where? Go wash your hands! 

Nothing says “amateur criminal” like a messy crime scene. Nothing says “classy” like our hand- made Dillinger Soap.

The refreshing scents of eucalyptus and mint help you fight Public Enemy Number One, bad body odor. With gorgeous pearl handle details, and silky lather, this soap will look mighty sharp sitting in the guest lavatory. 

We named our cleansing bar for John Dillinger the depression era bank robber, who successfully escaped from Crown Point, Indiana county jail using a bar of soap he’d carved into the shape of a gun. While we can’t make you a master criminal we can promise you a clean getaway. 

Please note- I can ship up to 4 guns per box then will require additional shipping to cover remainder of order. Please convo with questions or for bulk orders- just like the real thing, these faux pistolas are not for re-sale.
