Well, the box may say "Lasso
'em Bill," but the Cap Guns are Kenton Gene Autry models. And the models? Well,
I don't know who they are, but it looks like a pin-up collection of Zippo
lighters. If you remember, in the story about Nichols Industries, my dad and
Uncle Talley almost started to make cigarette lighters after the war, but found
out that the government was going to release a pile (millions) of Zippo surplus
lighters onto the market. Nice set of wrist cuffs.
I can make out Gene Autry's photo, but will assume that these Cap
Guns are more from Schmidt.
This is the Kenton set right
above the set in the photo above. Notice the fancy "Gene Autry" letting on the
holsters. Rare stuff.
The Schmidt Cap Guns I
recognize, but I am NOT an expert on holsters and don't recognize them. Ask
Steve Arlin! Or just buy his book on holsters!
Here are a couple of Hubley Texans in a fancy double holster set
with matching wrist cuffs. I never owned wrist cuffs when I was a kid. But I
was depraved, I mean "deprived," I guess.
Another fancy display.
Another incredible Gene Autry offering with Kenton Cap Guns and a
really nice double holster set. It looks so new that I can't really tell if it
is an original or a reproduction. I would be happy with either myself. The Cap
Guns are certainly originals.
