Tex Tan Holster Made Specially For Lewis W. Nichols

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

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.
