Halco (the J. Halpern Company of Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania) was known for their quality. They were a high volume distributor
that sold millions of Cap Guns that were produced by other companies. They sold
to a lot of the major retail outlets. In many cases the manufacturing companies
even put the HALCO name on the guns they produced for Halco. So they were very
responsible for a great number of the guns that we have cherished throughout
the years.

PLEASE HELP!
There won't be any "Art Trade Fair

money tight it's just a hope that we can receive contributions.
Believe me, even small contributions help! This is the only

Here is a nice composite of
two photos of a chromed set of Maverick Cap Guns with a double holster set from
Halco. One of the things to notice is the strap on the top of the guns when
they are opened. There is not the same kind of strap that you see in the
bronzed example above! This is a pretty expensive set.
Thanks to David
Denton.

Halco Maverick by Leslie-Henry, Second Version
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
And here
is another version of the Maverick Cap Gun by Leslie-Henry. As you can see,
this is the pop-up version and is just like the Gunsmoke Cap Gun down below. It
even says, "MARSHAL" on the grips above the steer's head, but it doesn't say,
"MATT DILLON" below the steer's head.
Thanks to Dean Gagliardotto for these nice
photos! |
|
Nice close-up isn't it?
I got this photo donated in order that you could more properly read the
inscription on the grips that says, "MARSHAL."
Thanks to Brenda
Crawford! |

|

So, is this the 3rd
Version of the Maverick Cap Gun? I guess so, but, of course, Leslie-Henry made
the Cap Guns, but it clearly says "Diamond H Brand" on the box, which is
HALCO.
Photos thanks to our friend Jim Mair.

This is an
ultra rare Wagon Train Scout boxed set. It was made by the M.A. Henry Company
for HALCO. It features a 5-in-1 combination rifle. This set not only has a 44
Wagon Train cap pistol, it then turns into a cap pistol with long barrel,
Carbine, Rifle without site and finally a complete rifle. The gun even
Ricochets! This is the early model Wagon Train 44 that takes the bullets. This
may be the ONLY Wagon Scout set
known to exist. The cap gun book Backyard Buckaroos shows a regular
Wagon Train 5-in-one in a plain box made in the 1957 era. This one has a
colorful red, green and white box . The gun is in unfired mint condition. This
is a set you may never see anywhere else.

Scott! |

These two
photos (above and below) are of the same "Diamond H Brand" which we know is
HALCO and manufactured by Leslie-Henry. Ward Bond (as Major Adams) was the
wagon master and Robert Horton was the scout (Flint McCullough). This is the
5-in-1 Rifle Gun - OR - Six Gun with the ZING sound of the bullet. This set is
extremely rare and is from the collection of Chuck Quinn and it is essentially
the same gun as above, but on a card—not in a box.

that this box is in great shape.

Here's another incarnation
of the Wagon Train series. This is a Marshal Cap Gun with the ellipse in the
grips and a tribute box from HALCO. You will notice Ward Bond and Robert Horton
on there to give it class.
This photo thanks to Doug.
These are
HALCO Wagon Train pistols, but you will notice that each has a different grip.
They were all made by Leslie-Henry in the Buzz Henry (sort of?) style for
HALCO.
These photos thanks to Charlie Martin.

HALCO, being a distribution

This is another
of the Derringer series—most likely made by Hubley.
These photos
thanks to Toy Gunslinger.
This is the same "TEX" but in chrome with a holster.

HALCO Derringer
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
| Here is a
little HALCO (L-H) entry into the Derringer market. Many of the major
manufacturers made Derringers—especially after Nichols Industries came out
with the Dyna-MITE. This one has some nice engraving. I'm not really sure if it
ever came with a box but they did do their best to copy the holster clip like
the Nichols originally produced. One of the distinctions is that the Nichols
Dyna-MITE could be taken apart easily for it had screws holding it together.
This little gun was also fitted to a "Paladin" (Have Gun Will Travel) holster
and also sold on a card. The carded example below, if you will notice, has
different dummy bullets. It also came with white grips in a holster as seen
below. The fact that the carded version below says Roth American shows how the
regular Cap Gun companies were getting sold in the 1960's. |
|
 |
|
And above we see the
same "Western Man" version of this HALCO Derringer.

This HALCO Maverick Derringer (HIDE-A-WAY) is mint on the card
and quite rare. Though it was manufactured by Leslie-Henry, it was distributed
by HALCO just like some HALCO stuff was made by Hubley. I bet you've never seen
one before.
This photo thanks to Scott McCollum.

And continuing with the
Derringer theme for HALCO is this Trooper—in bronze. Notice that the
bullets are different in this clip.

Campa
This must be a pretty rare rifle, as I had this site up for 3
years before I saw one! The box is probably more rare than the rifle, as boxes
are always hard to get. The box is HALCO, but Jim added the rifle, which is by
Hubley. However...Hubley made stuff for HALCO anyway, so I think that is
ok.
This
photo thanks to Jim Mair of Jim's Vintage Toys!
Here is a really nice Davy
Crockett set by Halco. I wonder what is inside, as we only have the
box!
Thanks to David Denton.
Okay, I said I didn't know what was in the box, but Dave Klahn
of The Ten Gallon Hat graciously sent me the proper information. So here's a
complete Davy Crockett outfit complete with a "Coonskin" hat.
