Daisy started making the Red Ryder in 1939. I found a web page with an add for a 1940 Red Ryder. The price listed was $2.95. see the link below.
The model 111 was a Daisy Western Carbine (Not a Red Ryder) It was made from 1963 to 1978. The Daisy No: 111 model 40 (Not Model 111) was a Red Ryder and was made from 1940 to 1952.
There are over a dozen versions of the Red Ryder. Daisy offers a free service to tell you more about your daisy. See the link below.
There are 8 Variations of the Red Ryder Model 111 and 14 different Red Ryder 1938 models. Your best bet is to contact "Daisy" they offer a FREE service to answer questions about Daisy products. See the link below
None of my Bluebooks list Red Ryder's by Lot number, but the Daisy web page has a service to give you more information about your Daisy. ( See the link below.)
There are 13 different versions of the 1938B Red Ryder starting in 1972 and is still in production today. Before that it was the model 111. The fact that it's sealed helps with the value considerably. So here is what I suggest. Daisy offers a service to identify antique Daisy air guns (free) See the link below it's part of the Daisy web site.
