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.

Leslie-Henry Wild Bill Hickok
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
A very
rare "pop-up" cap box variety of the Wild Bill Cap Gun. See more below.
Be
sure to click on the thumbnails above to see photos that are a little
larger.
Thank You Tom Coates! |

And
here's a very rare version (and box) of that same Cap Gun from Canada. Steve
says that he got the gun at an estate auction and that it is manufactured by
M.A. Henry Ltd., Dundas, Ontario.
Photos thanks to Steve Gosse! |

Again we
see a version of the Wild Bill Hickok Cap Gun, but this version has the
simulated revolving cylinder and the antique bronze finish. You will notice
that this one has the cameo grips. They put different grips on them, it would
seem, for no apparent reason.
Thank You Tom Coates! |

Leslie-Henry Paladin and Davy Crockett
Cap Guns
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
| Here's
another example of virtually "cloned" Cap Guns. You will notice, of course,
that the grips are different and the hammers are a little different. This Davy
Crockett gun is also different from the other one listed in this Leslie-Henry
section. Michael mentions that these are the 9" versions of these
guns. |

Leslie-Henry Maverick and Gunsmoke
Cap Guns
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
| The Cap
Guns in these six photos are a prime example of the concept that a company
would take a popular gun of good design and change the name on the gun or the
grips and bingo! You would have a new gun. The Maverick above has some unusual
"star" grips and the Gunsmoke version below has the "somewhat standard" horse's
head grips—amber in this case. |

Leslie-Henry
Wild Bill Hickok Pop-Up Model
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
This Leslie-Henry Wild Bill
Hickok is the same version as the amber grip model above.
These photos
are included because they show a lot of close-up detail and the white grips are
different.

Leslie-Henry
Gene Autry .44
|
|
|
|
| Right Side |
|
|
Now here's a "Dirty Harry" gun
before there was a "Dirty Harry." A Leslie-Henry Gene Autry .44.
Actually the
.44 was common. It just didn't have the Smith & Wesson power. But
Leslie-Henry made a fine Cap Gun.
I hope that you folks
will remember that you too can have your favorite Cap Guns on this website.
Send the photos in, preferably in 320 x 240 resolution, and we will give you a
"plug."

Gene Autry Pop-Up Version

This pop-up version is simply
the Wild Bill Hickok pop-up version above that has been renamed.
This specimen
shows the gold version, but it also comes in the nickel plated version, which
is less rare.
