Jamie Linford went to a special amount of trouble
to photograph Tom Winge's collection. He also told me that it is pronounced:
"WIN jeeee." Of course, me being what these "Super Collectors" would consider a
neophyte, I don't know enough about a lot of these to properly say much about
them. And besides, there are so many photos, that I think that I'm just going
to let some of the photos speak for themselves. Tom called me on the phone and
explained many of them. You might notice that 100% of Tom's collection is
cast-iron. I asked him why and he said it was just from his time.
Sadly, I was
informed that Tom passed away on May 5th, 2012. We of the Cap Gun Community are
really going to miss one of our greatest collectors. |

The radio on the right is a
Lone Ranger radio that is extremely rare!
The radio on the right is a Lone Ranger radio that is also
extremely rare!
You will notice that these
are the Lone Ranger on his horse Silver and they are on rockers.
Lone Ranger pocket watches.
This is a WALL of cast-iron
Cap Guns with various grips! Amazing! And a Fargo Express that is in
Backyard Buckaroos!
There's a
little of everything here.
More of those
cast-iron guns.
Here's Tom Winge and Chuck
Quinn.
Boxes of caps and a photo of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt and says, "For Tom Mix, from his friend, Franklin D.
Roosevelt." The elliptical photo below is a photo of Tom Mix and his wife
Victoria.
That photo in the background
is Tom Mix. The toy standing up is Gene Autry.
This Cap Gun is extremely
rare.
A big bunch of Bang-O's,
C-Boys. On the left are two programs from Gene Autry's Western Show in the
Empress Hall in London, England and the double barreled pop-gun is from the
show and it is labeled as such. Behind it are the tickets to the show. Monday,
August 17th, 1953 at 7:30 pm Row "S" Seat 7. Quite rare!
Same group, just a little farther to the right. The doll of Gene
Autry is pretty rare and is a composition statue from the
1930's.
Here's a good close-up of
the Fargo Express (at the bottom)—the one in the middle has the sticker
that says that it doesn't shoot caps and is an American. The one right above
the Fargo Express is an unusual finish, 2nd model cast-iron; the entire gun was
black finish except for the trigger and the hammer and the raised engraving was
bright nickel.
