Hey Ernie! You neglected to
inform me about each photo, so I am going to have to "wing it." Here's a Lasso
'em Bill set with the Cap Guns from the George Schmidt company and the set
concepts are from the Keyston Brothers of California.
In his e-mail, he said that this group of guns
was from a room that is apparently dedicated just to Cap Guns. I have a couple
of small, fancy pasteboard boxes labeled "Cap Guns" in my closet! Nice
stuff.
The photo is labeled, "Bob
Baker." I Googled up Bob Baker, cowboy and found out: Real name: Stanley Leland
- nickname: "Tumble" Weed. Here's a little bit about him: Baker's first film,
and one of his best, was COURAGE OF THE WEST released in 1937. The next year he
made a total of nine features and was listed in the Top Ten Moneymaking Western
Star poll. In his pictures he rode a beautiful paint horse called Apache. (from
Bobby J. Copeland-whom I hope doesn't mind) He apparently was the 2nd lead to
Johnny Mack Brown in many westerns. These are Buck 'n Bronc Cap Guns from
Schmidt. One heckuva fancy holster!
Here's a fancy Kenton Gene Autry set with spurs
from Ernie's gun room.
There's probably some
esoteric reason behind the chrome lubricant in front of Gene Autry's photo, but
I can't fathom it.
As you can see, Ernie is a
serious player when it comes to Buck 'n Bronc Cap Guns.
That chrome polish must have been for all of the
knives. And maybe these knives are to remind you that there are more where they
came from, should you think about laying your stinkin' hands on his Cap Gun
collection. Here's more Kenton Cap Guns that are probably Gene Autry types. I
see Hoppy peeking out from underneat the shelf.
I would have to think that these knives might all
be from the same period as the guns. More Kenton Cap Guns in these
holsters.
