As it turns out, there are quite a few other Cap
Guns from companies that never quite made it to the forefront. Some of the guns
weren't any good and some were TERRIFIC! But they don't quite fall into a major
category, so we present them here.

| WE HAVE LOTS OF BRANDS OF CAP GUNS BESIDES
JUST NICHOLS ON THIS WEBSITE. |
PLEASE HELP!
There won't be any "Art Trade Fair
Shows" this year because of the COVID-19 virus, so I won't be able to sell my
glass ornaments at those shows. And money is tight for the USA (Pray for our
leaders and Jesus said "Pray for those who would spitefully use you."...so with
money tight it's just a hope that we can receive contributions.
Believe me, even small contributions help! This is the only
site where you are likely to find most of the Cap Guns ever made. The site will
always be free to use, but it's not free for me.
YOU CAN CLICK BELOW TO HELP OUT!
(Contritubutions start at
only $10, but you can make it more if you can afford it.)
(And we
absolute refuse to put you on a
mailing list or sell your e-mail address.)
Thank you "History Buffs &
Collectors"—Mike Nichols, Texas |
This looks like a cast
iron one but isn't. I suspect it is a 1940s war metal one using cast iron
molds. Note the 7th Armoured Division Desert Rats symbol on it (the only
marking). The Desert Rats fought in North Africa and later in Italy.

Here is a Geronimo Cap Rifle
made by Edison Giocattoli (Italy) in the 1970s and sold into the 1980s when it
was discontinued. When Tim bought this rifle he contacted the company and got a
very nice reply and a photo of the rifle from their catalog.

Okay, it's not a Cap Gun, but I found it
interesting—especially since I couldn't remember ever seeing the TV show.
Do any of you have any information on this show or any Cap Guns?

Johnny Eagle Red
River by Topper
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Over 11" of a very finely
designed revolving cylinder toy gun, this was made by the Topper Corporation,
who also made toy rifles of different kinds as well as a 1911 style semiauto.
Topper was located in Elizabeth, New Jersey and seemed to survive on other
companies' good ideas and sometimes go them one better. It was positively a
huge toy corporation.

way.
Many thanks to Doug Hamilton!!! |

Roy Rogers, but has different grips—and is blue.

On this Cap Gun, I don't know
enough about it to do any photo-editing. It might be so rare that to brush it
up a little would detract from its rarity.

How's this for an
unusual way to start the Others Page? In Doug's own words, "A rare unique &
unusual vintage toy machine gun. I'm guessing from the "DOUGH BOY" name that
this toy is from the 1920's. It was manufactured by the "Pittsburgh Lamp &
Brass & Glass Co." Made from cast iron with "PGH LAMP BRASS & GLASS CO"
embossed into the receiver & handle along with "MADE IN USA" and on the
opposite side is embossed :DOUGH BOY." This toy measures 22-1/2 inches long
from the barrel tip to the back of cast iron handle and is 30 inches tall from
tripod base to the top of sheet metal magazine. Note the barrel is sheet metal.
This toy has a unique rapid firing mechanism that is activated with a crank
handle that is fixed on the right hand side of gun. Also be sure to note the
removable metal magazine that would hold numerous wooden play bullets. Gun is
mounted on a tripod base & will swivel up & down & in a 360 degree
circle. It makes a loud firing sound with each crank of the handle.

Shootin Arn
(Unknown Origin)
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
This "Shootin Arn" is one that
even Chuck can't identify. It was a gift from a friend. It is designed to shoot
some sort of projectile. The spring on the ejector rod is strong enough to push
a small marble or something through the barrel when you pull the trigger. If
you recognize it, then holler.

Here's an offering I just couldn't pass up. This commemorative
replica revolver is of the very same type used by Wild Bill Hickok. This is
very nice display piece for its age, about 30 years. It is constructed of of
the same number of precision components just like the real gun. As you can see
from the photos, this a beautiful example of the Navy Colt carried by Mr.
Hickok. This gun is one of the more rare Commemorative revolvers released by
the Franklin Mint.
