Hubley
Sniper
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
This Hubley Sniper must be one
of the rarest cap guns ever made, as I seldom ever see one! But it is not
extremely expensive, which would seem to contradict that. But sometimes if
people don't really want something, it doesn't matter how many are available,
it still won't be very expensive.
This unusual cap gun is 22 inches long!!! Can you
imagine for one moment a little kid having one in his holster? Perhaps that is
why we don't see very many. Maybe the very kids that would have played with it
weren't tall enough.

Here is a Hubley model that is
very much like the Pioneer. There are a few subtle differences though. For one
thing the Pioneer is a larger gun.
Be that as it may, this is a fine
specimen of that Cap Gun from yesteryear.

Well, I didn't find this one in
the book, but the gun is clearly marked, "TEXAN 38."
And, of course,
it is a Hubley.
Thanks to Jil Sanders for this contribution!

And here's a small Hubley bullet clip for

Australian
Hubley Gunsmoke
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Now here is one that you "State
Side People" (and the rest of the Cap Gun World) are probably never going to
see.
This is the same gun as the Texan 38, but is re-labeled
"GUNSMOKE." It was actually made in Australia by Toltoys, an Australian
company, apparently a company that leased the rights from Hubley, so I am
"calling" it a Hubley.
It was marketed as The Gunsmoke Fanner, as Gunsmoke was very
popular on TV (even in Australia) at the time. If you notice, it also has a
fanner-type hammer. Kim says that the "GUNSMOKE" has traces of the same red
paint as the star, so it was red when new. The photo at the lower left shows
the "AUST" which I am informed was a common abbreviation in Australia
for...Australia!

Here's a Cap Gun that is not
easily mistaken for another! This MINT beauty has what looks like may have been
inspiration for a scene in a famous movie! A horse's head handle. Nice clean
gun. There were several versions of this concept made, but this one is rather
rare. Notice that there is no scrollwork on this gun.
Photo thanks to
Brian Wolf! Thanks Buddy!

This
Hubley Cap Gun is like the Smoky Joe, but it is the "Tex."
All Photos Thanks To Tom Coates. |

And
here is a beautiful photo of the Tex with white grips. I am constantly amazed
that people will put their photos on an auction site and then have virtually no
description and a photo that is CRUMMY and out of focus or poor lighting, but
this photo is about as good as it gets!
Thanks to J. Marcus Fultz for this nice
photo.

HUGE.

And here's one more Hubley cast-iron cap gun.
You know, the people who donate these photos certainly don't have to, but they
are also interested in preserving a little of our history and building up the
Cap Gun Hobby.
Thank you Marla Moon for these photos! |

Hubley Western
Cap Gun

This is a rather simple Hubley pistol that is
8-1/2" long and has a nickel finish. The grips that are sort of...staghorn are
a little unusual.
Thank you so much Sue Zentz for this photo! |

One of the
rare cast-iron guns with LONG BARRELS (!) that you seldom see.
This gun is
found in Schleyer's Book as a Hubley. I have never seen of of
these.
