The J. and E. Stevens Company of Cromwell,
Connecticut was a very old company. They were making toy guns before most of
the other companies were formed.
They made some very old cast iron models that were
pre-World War IIsome were in the 19th Century! After World War II they
started making die-cast Cap Guns just like everybody else. But they didn't have
much innovation and besides, as you already know, the "Glory Days" of the Cap
Gun Industry were getting ready to be over in the mid-sixties anyway. So the
Stevens Company went the way of the "tumblin' tumbleweeds."

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 &
