Crescent Toys were made in England from July 1922
to the 1970's by Henry G. Eagles and Arthur A. Schneider. They originally
specialized in model Soldiers, Cowboys, Kitchen sets, etc., from lead
alloy—but later they made Cap Guns. Sometimes their "style" resembles Lone
Star and can be confusing. However the boxes usually make it pretty easy to
tell the difference.

This is actually a pretty
scarce gun or I wouldn't be offering on this page after 12 years that the
website has been up and running.

Crescent
Silva-Mite

|
 |
|
|
This is a virtual copy of the
Nichols Dyna-Mite, including the name! How can that be? My only possible guess
is that Uncle Talley was selling so many Dyan-Mites that he didn't want an
international lawsuit.
By the way...what does "Silva" have to do with guns, Cap Guns,
or the Old West?

Crescent Walther PP
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|

Here's a
pretty simple version of the famous James Bond PPK. At least that's what I
thought until a customer wrote me and said this is actually the only example of
the Walther PP. Very similar. The pictured cap gun came in at least two colors:
greenish with brown grips, and silver with black grips.

Well, now
I do have photos of the Cap Gun and so I will use them! Notice that this Cap
Gun has no pretense of a trigger guard of any kind, just a curved piece of
metal sticking out into the wind.

This is a

Here is a Cap Gun that is
basically dedicated to the lawmen of The Old West. I guess the Old West in
England would be Ireland. Whoops! That will get me some e-mail.

find all of the good stuff!

I don't really know a lot about
this Cap Gun except that it is another one of those guns made in England.
Though there weren't as many English companies making Cap Guns, they did make
some nice ones.

This is a
Crescent Kansas Kid boxed presentation set. The guns have a beautiful engraving
that says Kansas Kid on the barrel. This is a very rare set.

Here are a couple of
Derringers made by BCM and Crescent. The one on the top is a "Pepperbox." The
one on the bottom actually has a small cylinder and is called the "Cloverleaf."
The Pepperbox is made by BCM, but the Cloverleaf is by Crescent.
Here is a good close-up of the Cloverleaf by Crescent. I
can't quite tell how many cylinders it has, but I'm guessing five.
All of the above
photos thanks to Steve Arlin.

Here is the
box, which looks as if it just left the box company, but where is the gun? This
is #999 which is the "Rustler Gem Six Shooter." (for the Junior Cowboy)

Here is a Rustler 38 and
box. Quire rare. This one seems to be missing the left grip emblem. Notice that
it has a wolf facing down on the grip. As far as I know, only Crescent did
this.

Here's the same basic
Cap Gun, but is sure does look a lot like the Nichols Stallion 45. Except for
the wolf. And a few other little details.

Here are a
couple of photos demonstrating that Crescent actually produced 2 versions of
the same gun: one with the bullet ejector and one without.

Here's another variation of the

Great dueling set of Crescent guns from the UK. Marc Gregory
says that the little indent in the middle of the box was for a bottle of oil
with a cork closure.

This is one nice Lone

Steve says that even though
this Cap Gun rifle is not in very good shape, it is so rare that it really
doesn't make any difference. Very few of you have probably ever seen this
one!
