Hubley was from Lancaster, Pennsylvania and
started in 1894. The Hubley company made some of the finest Cap Guns you ever
saw. The Texans and the Cowboy were especially popular. They made guns with
nice scrollwork and some that were gold. They are still considered very
valuable collector's items. If you collect Cap Guns, then (besides Nichols
Industries Cap Guns, of course!!!) you have got to have a good collection of
Hubleys.
One of their most popular Cap Guns was from The Rifleman
television show starring Chuck Connors and Johnny Crawford. It had that special
cocking lever so he could really fire quickly. There are several examples in
this Hubley section.
Then there is their fabulous Colt 45 that was a full-sized model
of the Civil War pistol. I love it!

Hubley
Flintlock

 |

As they say, "And Now For
Something Different!!!"
Well, this is different. It's a genuine, bona fide Pirate
Pistol. I checked with the "Pirate Bureau" and they have already asked for it
back.
But seriously, didn't kids used to go outside and play? We
didn't have video games about pirates. WE WERE PIRATES!!! Walk the plank? Why
sure. It's a wonder we didn't break a leg. Actually......well, that's a long
story. |

Here's a Hubley

holster, but that it came from their good relationship with
HALCO.

Hubley Flintlock
Jr.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Here is the Hubley Flintlock
Jr. This gun only has one barrel, whereas I have seen some flintlocks that had
two, like a shotgun. I have seen a lot more of the regular Flintlocks than the
Junior version.

Hubley Flintlock Midget Cap Gun
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's
the miniature version of the Flintlock from Hubley. It's hard to believe that
they could make a profit from something that was so tiny. These days obviously
they can't make a profit on anything bigger! Though China makes some good stuff
I guess, it's certainly not like the "Good Old Days." Somebody wrote me the
other day and I said, "Those days are gone—read: GONE, GONE,
GONE!!!"

Gun

I guess it wasn't enough for
Hubley to make a Flintlock, so they had to make a Pirate Pistol also. Or Pirate
Gun if you prefer. This one is similar to the one above except that it is a
double-barreled pistol.

Here is a Winner. Literally!
This is a plastic pistol from Hubley that is very rare.
Photo by Belinda
Quan from Chuck Quinn's collection.
This is the Hubley Winner
from about 1940 in cast-iron. Hugo says that ones that aren't completely black
are the rarest versions.
From John Borst's collection.
And here is another one from
Rich
Hall, one of our advertisers. Here are Rich's words on the
Winner:
This cap gun is the Hard To Find beautiful dark finish cast iron
"Winner" cap gun made by Hubley Manufacturing Company of Lancaster, PA. Hubley
made several different, very popular models, and styles of cap guns from the
late 1910's to the late 1960's. This is a heavy small frame automatic style cap
gun that measures 4-3/8 inches long.
Hubley produced this cap gun about 1940. It
is referred to as the Colt logo "Winner" because of the "Rearing Horse"
medallion on the grip frame. The grips and frame sides are one casting. As
stated earlier this is the rare and HTF dark finish. The trigger, hammer, cap
box, and cap box release are nickel finish. This is by far one of the most
popular and appealing looking military style cap guns ever made and as such
makes it one of the most cherished cap guns by collectors from all parts of the
world.

Hubley Dick Cap Gun - 1940
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Here's a
relatively obscure little Cap Gun from 1940, the Hubley Dick. Chicken or Egg?
Which came first? Dick Tracy or the Hubley Dick? It is said that this one was
patterned after the one in the Dick Tracy comic strip. I would guess that the
box is more rare than the Cap Gun.
|
|
|
|
I don't have a clue as to
why Hubley would have come out with two different boxes for the same Cap Gun,
but they did. Maybe it was just a cheap Cap Gun that sold well and being simple
to operate, was popular.

I
wouldn't think that a Cap Gun that is this insignificant would have another
version, but here it is.

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.

Hubley
Coyote

 |

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. |
