Now
here's an expensive way to start off!!! First you have (probably) the two most
expensive Cap Guns in the world here. The G-45 Nichols Stallion 45 MK-II and
the Kilgore Fargo Express!!! Most of the best collectors don't own a Fargo
Express and Ed has a box! Kind of makes you sick, doesn't it? Those two
together are worth more than most people's collections put together. And I'm
ignoring some other pretty expensive stuff here! Like the Nichols Stallion 44
right in front of the G-45. I've never seen one personally myself. And my last
name is NICHOLS! |

| In Ed's "Limited" :-) text that
he sent with these photos: "These are BCM SIXGUNs. The Indian head grips are
fantastic." |
|
 |
|
| This is a BCM OUTLAW FRONTIER 45 and box. |

| These two photos represent the BCM OUTLAW RANGE OF GUNS series
which consist of 7 guns. The upper photo is an enlarged copy of their brochure
showing the 7 guns, and the bottom photo is a picture of Ed's collection of the
same 7 guns. |

are two RANGE RIDER MK. II cap guns and a rare box by Lone Star Co. |

This
is the NIGHT RIDER and box by Lone Star Co. |

That's funny...I wouldn't have thought that Davy Crockett would
have owned a bolt action Mauser-type rifle, but what do I know? Well, you have
that one on the bottom and the Rifleman's in the middle and the Nichols
Stallion 300 Saddle Gun on the top. |

Some weathered (Genuine Western!) boards, some genuine rope and
you have yourself a nice display. Actually I pieced these 3 together. But we
have some serious Cap Guns here. A nice black MK-II 45, a 6/7 Halco, a
Pathfinder and others too valuable to count. This photo alone would represent
some people's retirement package interest per year! |
Shelves just full of quality
items. No trash here. Notice the Blue/Gray items on that second shelf.
Including the Gray Ghost set, they are worth a small fortune in
themselves.
You just have to wonder how many shelves Ed
has.
My guess is that this is, "Down the hall and
to the right." when asked the usual question in somebody's house. My dad
brought back similar Indian sets like this from the World's Toy Fair in New
York when I was a kid. I was always excited. Nice Cap Guns too.
It looks like even to the right of the bathroom door (or closet?)
these is enough room to mount a few more Cap Guns. You know, any fool can just
put them in boxes. But mounting them for everybody to see just makes you plain
arrogant. Wait a minute, I meant to say, "Gives the world a chance to enjoy
your hobby." But that's probably because I am the plain fool with mine in some
boxes in the closet.
Here's that group of Cap Gun by the bow and
arrows.
Yo Rinty! I used to watch that TV show. But I am a 100% dog
lover. I loved it when Stump won the Westminster Kennel Club Show (best of
show!). That Sussex Spaniel. 10 years old. But German Shepherds like Rin Tin
Tin were good dogs too.
Now we're actually geting around to some Cap
Guns that I know something about. Here is a good collection of the GOOD OLD
PASADENA DAYS!!! That was my territory, Pasadena. I'm the only sibling on my
side of the family that remembers those days. And lookie there! There's a
Silver Pony and Silver Colt box! I've always wanted one of those. I have a
Silver Mustang. These weren't fancy Nichols Cap Guns like the Stallions, but I
really love them.
Johnny Yuma........was the
rebel..........goes the song. And we did love to watch that TV show. These toys
are quite rare. How do you people keep finding them? Or have the money for
them. I'm still saving up for my Steinway.

Here's a restored Roy Rogers and Trigger store display. Ed
could fix the "Crack of Dawn." It stands 41" high and was placed above the
display shelves stocked with Roy merchandise.
