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. |

A bunch of books on the
Cowboy years.
Sugar Pops from The Lone
Ranger. This container is very rare. 12 delicious flavors. And a Tonto Indian
outfit.
Kilgore caps.
The big photo is from Anheiser-Busch and is rare.
A box of Tom Mix cigars. Hopalong Cassidy got all of his
marketing ideas from Tom Mix.
I accused Tom
of already smoking all of the cigars. To the right of it is a rare "The
Straight Shooter" box from the 1930's with Tom Mix's picture on
it.
Here's a terrific close-up
of the ticket to that western show and the butt of that rifle.
This is a first-model of the
Cowboy King with a super long tang on the hammer.
More Tom Mix stuff.
Odds and ends
with Lasso 'em Bill guns.
Tom Mix
films.
A photo of Tom Winge's
father holding a target from shooting muzzle loading rifles.
