H&R Lyle or Line Gun?

[AKrazy]

So my dad came across a Line gun made by H&R. It is NIB with the original line spools and cosmo. It was produced by H&R in the thirties we think and it's in it's original packaging. It uses 45-70 blanks but we haven't tried it yet. Probably wont. Does anyone know what this thing is worth or anyplace I could research this thing?
TIA,

This is probably better posted in the general rifles section, as this one deals mostly with backpacks, pouches, holsters, and assorted other accessories that aren't firearms...

Does look cool, though.

Thanks Efraim! That's the most I could find on it myself. Looks like I need to keep digging.

Tim, I'll try to repost in a more appropriate spot and perhaps I'll get more insight on this oddball.
