Billy The Kid Box for Cast-Iron Gun


Here's the side of the box showing the establishment date of Stevens as 1843. That definitely might make them the oldest of the Cap Gun Companies. It's a shame too, since all of the major companies that made Cap Guns went out of business when our heroes died and kids quit playing Cowboys and Indians pretty much. That is, all except Mattel, and they had the Barbie Doll.
