Jon has a wonderful collection and lots of
Nichols Cap Guns. His are much nicer than mine. I hope he will adopt me!

Here is a nice close-up of
what appears to be a Rancho and a Stallion .22 in the yellow box, thus
indicating that it is the double action version (box by Buz, sold by Toy Tent).
And some other guns.
Here's a collection of caps
and bullets. But also a notched version of the Pasadena Stallion 45. The large
bullets are Hubley bullets and the smaller ones are Nichols. Please note the
ones on the lower right side in the plastic case. These are Stallion 38 bullets
in the RARE plastic case.
Photographing Cap Guns
through a piece of glass is hard. But here we have some Nichols Derringers. And
a Buccaneer for sure. That red plastic pellete does stand out.
More bullets. These are all Stallion 45 bullets. Hubley copied
Nichols when it came to the 2-piece bullet concept. You can just barely read on
the (RARE!!!) plastic case of the .45 bullets that it says, "PASADENA, TEXAS."
These are the aluminum machined bullets. Very rare. And expensive. You hardly
ever see them anymore.
This shows a Nichols
Detective 250. I can't tell what the other guns are.
Well, these have to be a complete set of Nichols Reproduction
Dyna-Mites from Bob Terry. You can tell by the different grip colors. Jon
ordered a bunch of them right off of this website awhile back and has built a
nice case for them.
Here's a bunch of Hubley
guns with what looks to be one Nichols Detective 250 thrown in to keep it
honest. :-) And a Kilgore, of course.
This is a similar photo to one above, but shows the Nichols Tommy
Gun. Though it isn't a really famous Cap Gun, nor is it a really quality gun, I
get a ton of people looking for it on Google. I don't know why, but it gets lot
of hits. If you want to spend spend your money wisely, then the Silver Pony and
the Tommy Gun pages are for you.
The Hubley Cowboy. This
Hubley Cowboy just happens to be one of the one with the "Dummy Hammer" that
doesn't shoot caps for those states that were presided over by idiots.
(Personal---AND TRUE---opinion of the author) I would imagine that their
children lost more hearing in an average rock concert tha by our favorite
toys.
Here's one of my favorite
Cap Guns of all time. The famous Hubley Colt 45. If it hadn't had those major
engineering problems, it might have been the best toy Cap Gun ever made. Of
course that distinction still goes to the Stallion 45 MK-II. And the G-45 is
the most beautiful version.
Here's a really nice
handmade case for Jon's Remington short barreled Hubley Cap Guns. Now folks,
this is nice and shows real pride.
A shelf full of Hubley Cap
Guns: Champ, Trooper and what looks like a different version of the Champ. I
strongly recommend that you don't place your Cap Guns on top of the boxes.
Please!!! It makes for creases in the boxes and I'm trying to collect the
doggone rare boxes! Give me a break!
Of course, to be fair (I was only
testing you!), the boxes with the guns on top have all been filled with foam
board and shrink wrapped for these very reasons. Jon's no dummy and knows their
vlue.
My goodness Jon. For a guy
that complained that he didn't have many cap guns, you certainly seem to have a
lot of CAP GUNS!!! A lot more than I. And doggone it but you have BOXES!!!
Boxes people! I'm telling you that these boxes are going to wind up costing
more than the Cap Guns. The Cap Guns can sit in a drawer with you piling socks
and such on them without any harm, but those boxes have to be pampered like
Fabergé Eggs! This photo, back to the main point, show a Hubley Dick and
a Hubley Hawk.
Here is a Hubley Army 45,
which is more common than the 45 Automatic (same basic concept gun) and there
isn't as much detail in either the Champ or the Army 45 as there is in the 45
Automatic.
Here's a Miniature Hubley Colt 45. These are for
"height challenged collectors" I guess. Did kids ever have hands that
small?
A Fanner set rounds out a good
page.
