As stated before, the Paint is basically a Pinto
that has had the name changed. However, you will find that its price is much
cheaper. Why? Simple. The name was changed early on and therefore there were
more Paints made. However, you will have to get a Paint in order for your
collection to be complete.

| WE HAVE LOTS OF BRANDS OF CAP GUNS BESIDES
JUST NICHOLS ON THIS WEBSITE. |
PLEASE HELP!
There won't be any "Art Trade Fair
Shows" this year because of the COVID-19 virus, so I won't be able to sell my
glass ornaments at those shows. And money is tight for the USA (Pray for our
leaders and Jesus said "Pray for those who would spitefully use you."...so with
money tight it's just a hope that we can receive contributions.
Believe me, even small contributions help! This is the only
site where you are likely to find most of the Cap Guns ever made. The site will
always be free to use, but it's not free for me.
YOU CAN CLICK BELOW TO HELP OUT!
(Contritubutions start at
only $10, but you can make it more if you can afford it.)
(And we
absolute refuse to put you on a
mailing list or sell your e-mail address.)
Thank you "History Buffs &
Collectors"—Mike Nichols, Texas |
As you might guess, this Paint is one of the more rare
ones!
Most had the usual color scheme, but this was a limited production
run.

Thanks to Robert
Nichols for this photo!
The
Paint, like the Pinto was "Single Action Only." That is, you had to cock the
hammer and then fire it. The advantage of this to a collector is that, with the
action being simple, then you hardly ever see one that doesn't operate
perfectly.
The regular Paint. A set like this is rare enough
in its own right. Though
the Paint is not particularly rare, nearly any
Nichols Cap Gun
that is still on its original card or package is much more
valuable.
Thanks again to Robert Nichols for this photo!
Here is the Paint in a little holster on the card. It had the
price cut off so I merely airbrushed that are back in without the price, which
was probably 98 cents too. The really interesting part about this one is that
(1) it is blued and (2) it is the same card and says, "IN CLIP" but it
certainly doesn't have a clip; it has a holster.
This is from our
friend Chuck Quinn's collection.
And here is about as good an example as
you are likely to see from the front end showing the cylinder when it is
flipped out. Notice the hole in the middle. This is to let the smoke from the
bullet pass through. And the other hole, which would normally be one of the
cylinders is where the cylinder release catches.
Thanks to Doug
Hamilton for this photo.
Here's a pair
of Paints in both the blued (or black if you prefer) finish and also the
regular nickel finish so that you can compare them.
Photos thanks to
Jim Manning of JM Toys.
Here's another pair of Paints in the gray and the black so that
you can compare them.
Photos thanks to Bob DeFeis
This is a very rare example
of the Steel Blu Paint, still on the card, so the gun is DEAD MINT, but the
card itself has seen better days. Try and pick up one for 98 cents!
Thanks to Chuck Quinn!
