PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF
HOPALONG CASSIDY CAP GUNS, MADE BY A LOT OF COMPANIES THAT ARE SCATTERED
THROUGHOUT THIS WEBSITE ON OTHER PAGES! |

To millions of kids watching TV in the 50's there
wasn't a bigger hero in the world than Hopalong Cassidy. William Boyd played
the part and every part of the show was not only a "Western," but it was full
of morality. The emphasis wasn't on spilling blood. The emphasis was that Good
will always triumph over Wrong and that Evil had to be rooted out by our
heroes.
These days, though there are still events like the "Hopalong
Cassidy Festival" in Cambridge, Ohio (See our Events Page), the memories are
fading. These Cap Guns, however, still command a pretty good price and some of
the collections and examples are among the highest priced of antique toy
guns.
I
hope that if you have any nice photos of Hopalong Cassidy Cap Guns or
memorabilia, you will send some to me. Thanks! —MN

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
site where you are likely to find most of the Cap Guns ever made. The site will
always be free to use, but it's not free for me.

An autographed picture of
Hopalong Cassidy on his horse Topper. Jim bought this from the original
owner—a man named Gary from California. He was very young when he got it
with his uncle. His uncle knew William Boyd (Hoppy). Gary can't remember when
he got this picture but he knows he lived in San Diego. His uncle may have got
it for him or Gary got it autographed at the Rose Parade or a different event.
The autograph says—To My Pal Gary, Good Luck From Hoppy.
Submitted by Jim Manning of JM Cap Guns &
Toys. Thanks!
And
here's another of the same photo sent in to me by the original owner—in
this case the autograph says—To My Pal Larry, Good Luck - Hoppy. Hopalong
Cassidy was a very generous man and was always concerned and thankful for his
many fans.
Submitted by Larry Johnston. Thanks!
This is a great set. The
guns were made by Wild West Toys. The holster is hand made by William Shields.
The guns are from the original Leslie-Henry molds that have been modified to
read " HOPALONG CASSIDY". This is a very high quality set. Set is number 26 of
100, although I do not know if all 100 sets were made.

This was made
in England by a company called George Sampson & Son LTD. Don't know what
gun came with it but this a has a Rustler Hawk gun made by Crescent. Nice
autographed box.

A Very Rare Hopalong Cassidy Gun From New Zealand!
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This
"copycat" from New Zealand sure does look like it was made by Hubley. But it's
a very rare model from the Kiwis. New Zealand, the land of every kind of
climate, all within about a few hours.
Thanks to Scott
McCollum for these photos! |

This is a Hopalong Cassidy picture gun set in near mint
condition and working great. This example comes with all the original films and
original box. I bet you've never seen one of these before!
Thanks to Jim
Mair for the above photo.
Here's a weird gun. It's
not a Cap Gun, but is indicative of the fact that Hopalong Cassidy stuff sold
like crazy in the 1950's. This gun looks like it could have shot ping pong
balls, but it probably shot some sort of special Hopalong balls. The Hoppy on
the grip is the same as on a typical Schmidt gun.
Thanks to Jack
Rosenthal of Toys and More for the above photos.
In typical
Ed Manes submission fashion, we have a fancy double holster set with photos,
boxes. a cut-out gun, knife and such. The guns look like
Wyandotte.

A Very Old Hopalong Cassidy Gun From Canada!

This must
be rare. I can't figure out what company made it. The steers on the grips make
you think Hubley and the stars do too, but I can't find it in Jim Schleyer's
"Backyard Buckaroos" book, so maybe it is just priceless. It's not the highest
quality, but if you're a Hoppy fan, then stuff like this is a "MUST."
Thanks to Otis
Melvin for these photos! |

This is a RARE small frame
Hopalong Cassidy single shot cap gun in the flash chrome finish. Notice that
unlike the photos above, it doesn't have what looks to be a lanyard ring under
the grips. And it's very shiny! The 3rd photo in this group, however is the
dull finish version. These are all DEAD MINT!!!
Thanks to Scott
McCollum for these photos.
Here's some nice Hopalong
Cassidy spurs. These kinds of character toys are beginning to be
even more
rare than the Cap Guns, as there are less left and less people collect
them.
Thanks to David Denton.

A Wyandotte from
around 1955. This gun is usually very pricey.
Here are a couple more photos of the same gun, but
in GOLD. This is very rare and costly.

In the early 1950's you should know that there were
MILLIONS of $$$ worth of
Hopalong Cassidy products produced in America. Here
is a watch.

Wyandotte
Hopalong Cassidy Gun Dummy Version
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
The reason I am showing this
model, which is basically the same as the Wyandotte version above, is that (1)
it is the dummy version and (2) it has a nice holster set to go with
it.
Add to that, that we get another look (and a few different
views) of a nice Cap Gun and we have a winner. |
