Wyandotte was one of the largest manufacturers of
Hopalong Cassidy Cap Guns. Like most of the toy gun companies, their "heyday"
was after World War II. Probably most of the guns that you will see that
feature Hoppy were Wyandotte guns. Since there are so many still around, they
must have been well made. We hope that you will send in your nice photos of
Wyandotte guns so that we will have a good representation.

I don't
know much about this particular Cap Gun except that it would look good on my
shelf with its associated box. This website has been up a long time and I have
had many people send in photos, but I am just now getting this one, so it must
be somewhat rare!
These photos thanks to
Chuck
Quinn! |

And here's another Rancher offering from
Chuck, but the Cap Gun says, "SHERIFF." I don't know how to explain this, so
I'm just going to be happy to have a fine photo. Do click on the photo to see a
bigger one.
I'm sorry I don't
have the Cap Gun, but at least I have the box. This offering is from our good
friend Doug Hamilton. Doug is the man who led us to visit the "Avenue of the
Giants," which is the Redwood forest in California. A nicer guy you will seldom
meet. Many people in the Cap Gun fraternity are just that nice.

Wyandotte Hopalong Cassidy Gun in Gold!

This is
the same Cap Gun as above, but in the more rare gold finish with black
grips.
Thanks to Tom Coates for these photos! |

And
another visitor to our site contributes these photos of the box for this Cap
Gun. What I think is an interesting point is that if you will notice the lower
left photo, it says "© WM. BOYD" because I wasn't aware that our friend
William Boyd held the copyright to the "Hopalong Cassidy" brand. But that's the
way it seems. It's a shame that Clayton Moore was denied appearing as "The Lone
Ranger" in later years.
Thanks Bruce Deas! |

Though
"Backyard Buckaroos" has this listed as a Marx toy, the owner says it’s
marked, " 'Pat. Pending/ Wyandotte Toys' on the left side right above the top
of the grip. There’s a separate cowboy-type guy riveted to the right side
of the revolver’s frame and he carries a Wyandotte Toys Made-In-U.S.A.
Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. Logo on his thigh, and 'Pat Pend.' repeated on his
calf/knee." So, I'll defer to the owner's judgment. This is not a cap gun per
se and is, instead, a "Clicker Gun."

Wyandotte 1935
"Clam Shell" Cap Gun
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Here's a weird one from 1935.
It is called a "Clam Shell" because it opens up like a clam to insert the roll
of caps. Very simple stamped metal gun, but pretty rare.
Thanks to Doug
Hamilton for these photos! |

Wyandotte Toy
Trucks

|

 |
|
| Here we feature "the rest of the story" with Wyandotte. They made
many types of toys, including these trucks you see here. Old toys like this are
now quite valuable and have turned into a good investment. |
