The Colt Special was an inexpensive ($ .98) 50
shot repeater that was introduced in 1957. This is one of the smaller guns, but
still had the nice grips. Some were made in chrome and there were a few that
were blued. They even came with wooden grips! Sometimes I think whomever was
putting the guns together or selling them got bored and started something
different—like blueing the guns, etc. Surprisingly enough, this is the
same year that the famous Stallion 45 MK-II was introduced. And there sure is a
lot of difference in value between the two guns. However, when you find one of
these that is in pristine shape, it still isn't cheap.
This beautiful Dealers Board display is simply wonderful and has
a Colt Special up on top. This photo is furnished to us by our friend Scott
McCollum of Cap Gun Treasures. A couple of
fine photos of the Colt Special on an oak table! Photo thanks to

Personally I can never tell what's the difference between a blued
version and a black version. But here's one with the white grips from our
friend Chuck Quinn. Here we have
the gate up so that you can see where the roll caps go. Photo thanks to

Men's 5-Year Employment Tie-Clasp
This tie clasp is so rare
that I haven't ever even seen one. I didn't know that it existed for sure until
I saw this example. Photos by KJToys (Kerry and Judy Irvin)

Here's an even better photo of
the men's tie clasp. I wish I had one. My cousin Dwight Nichols snatched up all
of these types of items as quickly as he could.Darn!!! Photos by Don

Here's a nice photo of all three of the commemorative items. I
hadn't seen the knife set before! Photo by Jamie Linford. A full dozen in the box like this is about as scarce as hen's
teeth. I would love to own a set like this! Photo courtesy of Louise
