Here is one of the finest small collections that
I have seen in awhile. Bob and Pat DeFeis. I could only wish that I personally
had enough fine Cap Guns just to fill their nice showcase. But look at all of
the sets and examples in that case. And, in fact, I have put a few other photos
on this page to show the quality of their collection. They started from nothing
and you can too. I'm probably the worst example of a person who collects Cap
Guns; I had about the world's best opportunity and didn't do one thing about
it. And now I am trying to make up for lost time. (So, please send me all of
your better Cap Guns!!! I'll even give you credit for it! :-) And take photos
too!) But you too could have a nice collection if you just start now. Remember
how much better the value of Cap Guns has performed as compared to the other
investment possibilities out there. Like the stock market. Using even the "Rule
of 72" you will find out that if you had only bought and saved about 100
Nichols Silver Ponies of 1946 with their boxes, you would have spent about
$100.00. And now they would be worth about $50,000. Amazing, huh? And I'm only
pointing out the very first Nichols Cap Gun. There are plenty that would have
made you a TERRIFIC FORTUNE if only you had invested in them. Imagine having
bought about 100 mint shadow boxes of Klondikes! That would be worth about a
cool half million $$$. It makes me sick to even think about it.

A picture of some of his
collection of Mattel's famous guns and holster sets.
This is the Agent Zero W complete box set, rifle,
holster, pistol, ankle derringer, in box. In case you wish to be well-informed,
this is the same rapid fire rifle that was used for the Planet of the Apes
rifle! The same weird combination of Lewis-type machine gun magazine with a
Winchester rifle! See that little ankle Derringer? It's the same one that is
used on the belt buckle combination.
Mattel Buffalo Hunter set, came with all the
stuff you see in the box. This is the second boxed version of the Buffalo
Hunter Set that Mattel produced, released around 1964. This rifle was used in
several different combinations as they saw fit.
This photo and the one directly above it is of
the first set Mattel produced. This set has the all-leather holster and knife
sheath. Most of the others you find are suede or cowhide.
A light tan leather version of the Mattel Buffalo
Hunter holster. Note no "M" insignia on the holster. There is nothing in any
catalogs but it's definitely a Mattel holster.
The picture on the left shows the Mattel Shootin'
Shells single shaft. The right shows Mattel Shootin' Shells in yellow. Both are
extremely rare.
This Daisy Kid Fast Draw
Outfit boxed set is complete and very rare. The cap gun used a two-piece bullet
made by Nichols for Daisy. The gun was also made by Nichols. This model gun
carried a special twirling trigger.
Colt six shooter rifle with the large .45
Shootin' Shell gun by Mattel.
This is a Fast
Draw Gun and Holster Set made by Classy Products Corp, Woodside, NY. There is
an Indian in full headdress on the hand grip and the gun reads Buntline
Special. It's a six shooter that holds bullets. Very unusual carded set
complete with holster and bullets.
This is the
Nichols Model 61 with a gray holster. It has an American flag and a Confederate
flag on the holster flap and the buckle. I'd love to get more information
regarding this holster. I don't find anything in any books I've seen. It looks
like the Gray Ghost, but it is not. Maybe some of you knowledgeable folks out
there can give me a clue. I do know that it came in several different
colors.
Another nice group of Cap
Guns lined up on shelves. Is this nice or what? I have a similar shelf right
here beside my computer desk, but it is mostly full of real bullets. Every
red-blooded American should have at least as many bullets as I do. It keeps the
burglars (and TYRANTS) away.
Thanks For The Offering Bob and
Pat!
