The Tophand 250 was really just another "break
down" repeating cap pistol. However, it was large and therefore a good
bargain—therefore it sold well. It was made in 1960 and cost $
1.49.
However, like all of the others it was very durable. Durability
has been a "Plus" and a "Minus" for the Nichols Cap Guns. It means that more
have survived, but with greater numbers it also means that there are cap guns
that are more valuable—not due to their quality, but due to their
scarcity.

Here's a blued version of the Tophand 250. As
I've said before, the blued versions are a little bit more valuable.

And here's the same basic Nichols
Tophand 250 (blued) in a shadow box.
Now folks, here's one you're not likely to see very often (if
ever!). This is a Tophand 250 that had a little extra hardware so that you
could mount it on the handlebars of your bicycle.
Cap Guns like
this still on the original store card are quite rare. Rule #1: See one—Buy
it!
What
a novel idea!
