![](raker-8.jpg) How true!

![](raker-9.jpg) If I were in his house, I
couldn't watch the TV, for I would be staring at the walls.

![](raker-10.jpg) In the owner's own words, "Notice the Marx
miniatures. I found them just like that. A kid made all the western stuff on
them , I just took the cardboard with the guns and stuff on the cowboys and had
it framed."

![](raker-11.jpg) Here's a very nice close-up
illustrating the compactness of his collection and the quantity!
![](../graphics/clr_dot.gif)
![](raker-12.jpg) I should have asked my dad to build me some
display cases like this for my "future collection." He was a superb craftsman
(especially in walnut) as well as a great dad and Methodist
minister.

![](raker-13.jpg) Guns all over the walls. Roy
seems to approve.
![](../graphics/clr_dot.gif)
![](raker-14.jpg) And...of course...more guns all over the walls.

![](raker-15.jpg) Though you were finished? As Don says, these
photos show his "true sickness." (Cap Gun Collecting!)

![](raker-16.jpg) Another corner of the Cap Gun
Room.

![](raker-17.jpg) At least by looking at these
photos I can understand why my own Cap Gun Collection is so small. It's because
other people are hoarding the guns!
![](../graphics/clr_dot.gif)
![](../graphics/scrapbook/marx/clicker-group-t.jpg) This is it for Marx! The
ultimate tribute to the Marx small plastic clicker guns. Notice the Marx logo
in the middle of the display. This display was inspired by a similar display of
Colt revolvers by Colt at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition.
Inspiration turned to reality by custom framer Jim Quick.

![](18-t.jpg) This is a fabulous
built-int-the-wall military toy gun set. A serious amount of work here!!! We
could all only wish to have a great display like this.
![](../graphics/clr_dot.gif)
![](19-t.jpg) And here is a close-up
of the rifles and the Browning machine gun. (BE
