Marx has long been one of the largest toy
manufacturers in the world. They have created all sorts of quality toys for
generations and the Cap Gun hobby is no exception.
In addition to
their full-sized Cap Guns, they even created an entire line of miniature Cap
Guns—not to be confused with the small Derringers and flintlocks like the
Nichols Buccaneer or the Dyna-Mite, but TINY GUNS! In this section we have Colt
Army 45's, Johnny Ringo stuff, rifles and miniatures.

Gun

This is a Marx Detective in the
standard Smith & Wesson snub nosed 38 style. It has plastic bullets and the
whole front appears to pivot down in order to change the bullets and
caps.

Marx Plastic
Magnum Cap Gun
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
I'm not really sure if this
Marx plastic Magnum Cap Gun is rare, but this I know: You don't see very many
Cap Guns that are plastic and are painted in very good shape because it is so
easy to chip the paint away and break the parts.

This is a large Marx
gun, a Single Action Army revolver that is only one inch shorter than the REAL
THING that is shown here on the top. Don says that these larger Marx guns are
much rarer than the smaller ones. This gun is a "clicker." A nice black finish
and a cowboy rearing on a horse on the grips on the right side and a steer on
the left side.
Thanks to Don Raker for the photo, one of our
advertisers.

Marx Army
Plastic Clicker Gun
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Here is the second large Marx
plastic clicker gun. It is a very rare US Army marked gun. The left side grip
is the cowboy on the rearing horse, but the right side is the unique and
beautiful American Eagle grip. Some say these were a limited run or prototypes
that were never produced. Perhaps they were in production but a very few were
made.

Marx Large
Plastic Repeater Cap Gun
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Here we have a very rare large
Marx plastic clicker gun. This gun is unique for 2 reasons. First notice the
large trigger guard. Second, the internals are all metal and you lift up the
entire metal cap box and trigger to load a roll of caps. I bet none of you have
seen a Cap Gun in this configuration. Or few of you!

Red Plastic Repeater Cap Pistol
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
| This is a unique Marx red
“Repeater Cap Pistol.” It is a copy of an early Colt New Service
Revolver with the lanyard ring! The internals are all metal and flip up to load
roll caps. A typical double action trigger. The box that accompanies this gun
is beautiful and one of the most colorful Marx toy gun boxes. Most of the
plastic clickers came in a plain tan box with the work Marx and clicker gun on
it. This box is colorful and suggests the 1940 era. |

This is it for Marx! The
ultimate tribute to the Marx small plastic clicker guns. Notice the Marx logo
in the middle of the display. This display was inspired by a similar display of
Colt revolvers by Colt at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition.
Inspiration turned to reality by custom framer Jim Quick.
Thanks to
Don
Raker for these photos.
Here's another Marx miniature, this time a 1911 Army
look-alike.
Thanks to Doug Hamilton for the photo.
Is this Paper Buster rifle
like the other paper busting guns that just blows air (hard!) through a piece
of paper and it makes a big bang, like when you hold a rose petal in your
circled fingers and slam your hand over it? We used to do that when we were
kids. You could use leaves too.

Marx - Johnny
Ringo - From the 1960's
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
This Johnny Ringo 60's cap gun
is hard to find and has a unusual way of firing: By pulling the lanyard ring on
the bottom of the grip. The caps are loaded in the top of the gun in front of
the cylinder as pictured. This black 11-inch gun is engraved and has great
grips with steer and horse heads on them. Marx is known for their terrific
grips.
