Lost Scout Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 In a last ditch effort to find something cool today I went out into my pasture this evening. I found a gun. Judging by the barrel the kid used too many caps at once. 😱😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Â I killed many,many bad men with one of those, I also robbed banks and stage coaches. and absolutely no mortal man could out draw me, but nothing matched my famous shot when I got the giant rattlesnake in the eye at 300 paces. The next day was even more exciting. Â Thanks for the memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 From https://cornellpubs.com/manufacturer/hubley-toy/ "Hubley — Founded by John Hubley in about 1894 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the Hubley Manufacturing Company made cast iron toys. Its earliest products were trains and trolleys powered by live steam, electricity, or spring mechanisms. Hubley produced stoves and still banks beginning in 1909. It later added horse-drawn fire and circus wagons, cap pistols, trucks, cars, motorcycles, and, in the 1920s, dollhouse kitchen appliances. By 1940 Hubley had become the world’s largest manufacturer of cast-iron toys. Increasing freight charges and foreign competition made the company switch to die-cast toys of a zinc alloy. Hubley was acquired by Gabriel Industries in 1965 and now produces die-cast zinc and plastic toys as well as hobby kits."

And the disappointment when he lost it in irrigation ditch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardPack Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Back in the day when a kid could purchase caps by the roll, missing the old Fanner Fifty with its hand crafted plastic ivory grips. Slap leather pilgrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
