There once was a time when boys and girls had cap
guns, watched Westerns on TV and dressed up as Cowboys (and Cowgirls!) and
Indians. They had their cap pistols and bows and arrows and many a big battle
was fought. None were ever won, just a good time for all. These were days
of innocence. Youngsters would shoot the other side and they would fall down.
There were smoke and "bullets," but no one thought of actual violence and every
toy gun was just used for fun and we knew these were merely games. Come and relive
those years when our heroes were in "The Old West," on television and the
movies, and we understood who were the Bad Guys and who were the Good Guys. And
a Stallion could be a Cap Gun! In 1946 a new company was born in Pasadena, Texas,
USA and made toys for those children. It was Nichols Industries, and for 20
years they made the finest toy cap guns the world had ever seen. Now you can only
find these wonderful toys at auctions, estate sales and on auctions on the
internet like Ebay. Relive your past and see the cap guns that were proudly
made by our family. — Mike Nichols

brands on this site too! See the 'Cap Guns' menu. In fact...if you try and visit
every page on this website, you will find out that it will take you WEEKS!!!
I'm trying to make it like the "Smithsonian" of Cap Gun websites. Send in your
favorite photos of a rare gun and chances are that we'll put it on here and
give you the credit. Send as attachments and make them all sharp and the same
size. The more the merrier.

Hello France!
WELL, I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED—BUT I
AM—THAT THERE ARE (APPARENTLY) MANY CAP GUN COLLECTORS IN FRANCE. GLAD TO
HAVE THEM. I SEE "HITS" FROM FRANCE ALL OF THE TIME, LIKE SECLIN AND
MONTPELLIER. AND TO THINK I THOUGHT "FRENCH FRIES" WERE INVENTED IN FRANCE. I
HEARD ON TV THE OTHER DAY THAT THEY WERE ORIGINALLY INVENTED IN BELGIUM. MAYBE
CAP GUNS WEREN'T INVENTED IN AMERICA???
Hello France!
I want to
personally welcome all of my new friends to the Nichols Cap Gun website. We
have prepared a world map that shows (only) where your Internet Service
Provided is located (not your own house, for instance, as that would be
impossible)—just for the fun of it. To see where all of the people live who are
visiting the Nichols Cap Guns website, simply go to the bottom of the Dealers
Page (you know...the page where you find the COOL CAP GUN DEALERS!) and there
will be a world map with the most recent visitors to our site. OR JUST CLICK HERE! You know...if
you start RIGHT NOW and try to read every page on this website, it will take
most of you about 5 days. Me, probably about 7 days, as I tend to re-read stuff
and savor the flavor. But you're going to realize how much this site was built
just for you, the average collector.
