GOT A LIGHT MAC?

Recently saw this ad on an old comic cover from 1967 and the toy gun cigarette lighter jogged my memory. I can feel it now, all plastic and firing small brown bullets. I think mine was by Redbox but it could have even been OO7. I don't have it any more but I do still own a small plastic case of  redbox ammo. Did anyone else have this or other spy toys like exploding pens, tiny cameras or miniature toy rifles?

Yes, Redbox was, I think the maker.
Had a cigarette packet, camera and I think the lighter that all fired small bullets. There was a larger radio that I didn't have in the smae series. Also had a larger silver imitation table lighter that converted to a gun, with folding pistol grip and hidden barrel -a Hong Kong product, as they all were.
