The Cow-Tyke is a LITTLE GUN! While not a
miniature, this was a regular "Old West Gun" for the little folks. It used roll
caps instead of Stallion bullets.

Don't you just "love it"
when you have to try and find one of the really simple, but small Cap Guns in
order to have a complete set. Well, I am getting close to getting a full
"basic" Nichols set. A "Basic Nichols Set" is one of each Nichols gun that is
listed in the back of my Uncle Talley's little book. If you don't have a book,
get one and read up and start your collection now. You won't ever have a better
opportunity!
All photos thanks to
me!

The Cowtyke was introduced
in 1960 and retailed for a whopping $ .69. (SIXTY NINE PENNIES!) By today's
standards you would probably look somewhere on the gun and see that it said,
"Made In China," but this gun was made in Jacksonville, Texas. Somehow in those
days our labor costs and material costs were low enough that America was a
competitor! What happened?
