Esquire Novelty Company is a company that has
made small guns and sets of guns with holsters. Their company, apparently, was
located in Amsterdam, New York. Esquire is also the parent company - or
distribution company - of Actoy. Many times there is a lot of crossover with
these two companies.

From Esquire Novelty.
The Lone Ranger Official Outfit. Very hard to find, especially in this
condition, this set includes a belt with classic early Lone Ranger
images.

This store
display is a copy of the original Jamie used to own. The original was all
marked up and had a lot of damage. The guns, however, are REAL! The guns are
made by Esquire. They are mint unfired guns. The barrel extension and stock are
removable. The date on the board is 1958. The board measures 36" x 18".
Remarkable photo

Esquire / Actoy
Restless Gun Set NMIB

This is one heckuva rare
combination set. What I don't understand is why it isn't more expensive. It
might be because the Actoy/Esquire line of Cap Guns isn't the most popular of
lines. But this is an amazing rig!

Since the other
"Restless Gun" stuff was made by Esquire, then (until told differently) I am
going to assume that this double holster set was also made by Esquire. It says,
"RESTLESS GUN" and under that, "VINT BONNER" who was played by John Payne. We
kids like John Payne, for he was the attorney in "Miracle on 34th Street" that
got Santa Claus off of the hook. (of course with the BEAUTIFUL Maureen
O'Hara!!!)
Thanks to David Denton.

Here's the box from a
1950's Esquire cowboy set. You know...back when kids played outside and didn't
have video games. Yo---Rinty!!! For those of you who were born close to this
century, Rin-Tin-Tin was a pretty popular TV show where, for some reason, they
had a little boy in the U.S. Cavalry, who had this genius of a dog. I loved
that dog. And he was just as smart as Lassie, who actually was also a boy.
Yo---Rinty!!!

Here is one of those Cap Guns that Hugh O'Brien on the TV show
"Wyatt Earp" made famous. The famous "Buntline Special." If you will look
closely, you will see that this gun originally sold for NINETY EIGHT CENTS!!!
Try and buy it for that now! 98 cents won't even get you a fancy cup of coffee
at Starbucks!
Thanks to James Ewings for this photo

While the
Hideaway Derringer at the top has a bronzed look, this one that is mint on the
card has a gold tone to it.

Here is a nice Esquire HIDEAWAY in bronze with dark beige colored

Esquire / Actoy
Pony

Esquire, being the "big
brother" of Actoy, sold Actoy Cap Guns. And since this Pony was one of the
guns, then they sold it too.
This is a small 1955 era Cap Gun that is about 7"
long and is all metal and a single shot. |
