The Leslie-Henry Company, of Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania, was one of the best manufacturers of Toy Cap Guns that there ever
was. They not only made for themselves, but also for major distributors, like
Halco. And they were involved with the "Buzz Henry" guns. In this section, to
the best of our ability, we will feature as many Leslie-Henry Cap Guns as we
can put here. Our readers, I hope will send in photos and pertinent information
about the guns.

Apparently there was some
collusion between Hubley and Leslie-Henry on this Cap Gun, as there is a model
that is Hubley and a model that is Leslie-Henry. These are actually mine now,
as I won them on Ebay for virtually nothing. You ought to try bidding, as
sometimes you will get a pretty good deal. And you can support your local
gunslinger, as do I.

This
Leslie-Henry "Texas" (like many others) is the same as the Davy Crockett model
down below, but the name has been changed to appeal (I guess) to another crowd.
Maybe us Texans. Many people are surprised to find out that Texans aren't
really as arrogant as they thought. Most of us, by the time we get to 20, find
out that other states have their own charm too. But it's kind of fun to live in
a state where there are actually about 5 totally distinctive areas in geography
and culture. Except, of course, for how far you have to DRIVE!!!

Leslie-Henry Davy Crockett

This gun, of course, is no more than a standard
Leslie-Henry like the Wild Bill Hickok that has been re-tooled to have the name
Davy Crockett.
But then again, your ring finger is very much like
your middle finger and you wouldn't want to do without it, so you have to have
the Davy Crockett gun if you want a complete Leslie-Henry set. Besides, the
doggone thing is quite rare!!!

Now here's a
set you won't see every day! This is a Bonanza Set from Leslie-Henry. The box
says "Diamond H Brand" but by the guns, we all know that it's a Leslie-Henry.
Besides, on the end of the box it says Leslie-Henry anyway. |

Here's another style of
Leslie-Henry Bonanza Cap Gun. This one is called the long barreled version and
is more in the regular style of the other Leslie-Henry Cap Guns. This chrome
version is pretty rare and this example is really shiny.
Many thanks to
Scott McCollum.

This is an unusual Leslie-Henry
Cap Gun in that it bears no insignia of any kind. True, it has the "H" within
the ellipse like many Leslie-Henry guns, but it isn't dedicated to a hero nor
does it have a pet name.

| This Cap
Gun was manufactured from about 1950 to 1955. It is one of those guns that is a
basically a variation on the second Wild Bill Hickock gun below but has a
different name. |
