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. |

seen.

notice that the Lone Ranger set on the right has a pair of socks in it. The gun
