Tim Tobin has some really unusual stuff including
Cap Guns, knives and CARDBOARD CAP GUNS! I had never before seen any of these.
Just punch them out of cereal boxes. Not as realistic, but certainly cheaper
and available, that is, back in the Good Old Days. |

Here we have a "How The West
Was Won" rifle, a Cisco Kid (upper left pistol), Plainsman, (upper right) a
Remington 36 with all bullets and a Ramrod. The Ramrod is by Lone Star and is
associated with the Rawhide TV series.
This one is pretty self-explanatory. It is a
How the West Was Won set. That certainly looks like James Arness on the
front to me. The How the West Was Won set was made by Kusan
Here is a Rango by Mattel. It's basically a
"Cowboy in Africa" Cap Gun, but with a different name. You can just barely see
behind the holster where it says, "FANNER 50." This is one I have never seen
before. But I don't get around much!
Here are (starting from the top) a Hubley Rifle
(The Rifleman), Two Marx Rifles and he says that he didn't know anything about
the last one - he just liked it! That's one of my favorite
excuses.
What a set of "Mare's
Laig" guns! We have (starting at the top and going down from left to right) a
5-1/4 inch miniature (Marx), 13-inch (Marx), Japanese Tin Litho, 17 inch,
Esquire, Rayline Pursuer, Rayline Pursuer with holster and bullets and a
Knickerbocker Water Gun (the white one). It's amazing how few years that show
Wanted Dead or Alive starring Steve McQueen (94 episodes, 1958-1961) was
on and yet how popular it was. Conundrum. For instance, Gunsmoke has
been on more years, and I don't think those Cap Guns are quite as popular.
Perhaps because the "Mare's Laid" is such an unusual style.
Here's an interesting
group: Buffalo Bill Scout, Kelly's Rifle, Little Beaver, Bonanza Rifle, Carnell
Roundup Rifle, Red River Pistol (left), Westerner Pistol and a Leslie-Henry
Texas Ranger
Cowboy in Africa gun
collection. It is purely amazing how many guns were named for such a short
lived show. All rifles work and are in excellent condition.
