Jamie Linford primarily collects Nichols Cap Guns, but also has an eye out for nearly anything of high quality and worth. He is also one of the people who helped me get this website started and without his tutelage, I probably would have failed miserably. Therefore I really thank him! You can contact Jamie at:

VARIOUS OTHER COLLECTIONS







Here's a great Mattel selection from Jamie.


Besides the wonderful Stallion 45 store display here, this photo answers one question: Yes, the Aquacar did come in both color combinations and apparently neither variation was particularly rare. Except for the car itself being pretty rare these days.


Although this looks like the store display rack above, it is actually the Display Rack for the Stallion 38, which is even more rare. This photo also shows that doggone Super Sling Shot that Jamie beat me out of on eBay. I just couldn't believe that ANYBODY else in the whole world knew that it was rare except me. And so I lost it. Like Paul McCartney realizing later that he should have outbid Michael Jackson for HIS OWN SONGS!!! But I'm not a socialist and perhaps Jamie will find another one and sell me one!


Goodness, would you look at these. Lone Star Cap Guns by the millions...or at least quite a few. And BLUES. Now there's a company that never minded copying somebody else's great designs.


Jamie is one of the great Nichols collectors in the world. A photo like this can easily prove it. Those "shadow box" cap guns were produced during the Kusan days at Nichols. But look at that G-32. Jamie shrink-wraps all of his boxes so they will last forever. Nice 2-piece Pasadena 45 Box and Stallion. I'd rather have the box than the Stallion. I can always find a gun.


Be still my heart! There is more value in this photo than an amateur collector can possibly imagine. That Gold Pinto in its belt scabbard is worth a ton, then the Gold Stallion Model 61 is worth a lot more and the G-45 is worth as much as anything. And if that isn't enough for you, then there is a Gold Dyna-Mite hiding over at the right. And a few other expensive odds and ends.


Here is a shot farther to the right of the previous photo and it shows a pretty good close-up of the G-32. The small gun that is in front of the Stallions is a single shot miniature 45 made by Hubley.


In this revolving vertical display we have a lot of the smaller MOC (Mint on Card) examples. I'm getting on the verge of envy. I would like to have the counter. Must have gotten it from a jewelry store.


Same rack, another angle.

Do any of you folks (except the Steve Arlin, Chuck Quinn and Rich Hall types actually realize what you are seeing here? For their size, these are two of the most expensive and rare little sets in the world. I would almost trade half of my small collection for them. And I have a full Nichols Basic Set. (not MINT obviously) The packet on the left I have never seen before and the one on the right, if put on eBay would fetch a small fortune. Where in the world did that box on the left come from? I have never ONCE seen it before or even heard it mentioned. I'm definitely going to have to get adopted by Jamie! I have even saved the larger size of this photo, so click on this one and you will see it even larger.
