I use a Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun.
There have been 23 plus variation of the Daisy Red Ryder starting in 1940 up to today. Not counting the ones that look similar to the Red Ryder but do not say "Red Ryder" on them. The Red Ryder is probably the most manufactured air rifle of all time. They don't even put serial numbers on them just LOT numbers. But some are valuable if they are really old. So here is what I suggest. Daisy offers a service to estimate the value of daisy antiques and it's free. See the Link Below.
start with a red ryder. teach the child how to handle it along with the responsibility's that goes along with a BB gun.
A new Daisy Red Ryder cost around $40
The Daisy is not designed forhunting but can kill rodents
What condition is it in. That determines the value.
There are about 22 or 23 variations of the Red Ryder. Yours is worth about $35 - $40. If it has the BB tin, then you can add $10.

Daisy has been making the Red Ryder series almost continuously from 1939 to today. The Red Ryder's that have a metal lever action (not plastic) are the most desirable. It is hard to place a value on them because so many were manufactured. They made so many that Daisy stopped issuing serial numbers and started using Batch numbers in 1952 for the Red Ryder models. I'm attaching a link to "Daisy Antique" for you to follow and give them your information. They have more information than anyone else about value and determining the exact model you have. (See the link below.)
Daisy actually made the rifle ling before it became known as the Red Ryder series. The rifle came out in 1910 but was named Red Ryder in 1939 and continued on from there.
