Hubley was from Lancaster, Pennsylvania and started in 1894. The Hubley company made some of the finest Cap Guns you ever saw. The Texans and the Cowboy were especially popular. They made guns with nice scrollwork and some that were gold. They are still considered very valuable collector's items. If you collect Cap Guns, then (besides Nichols Industries Cap Guns, of course!!!) you have got to have a good collection of Hubleys.

One of their most popular Cap Guns was from The Rifleman television show starring Chuck Connors and Johnny Crawford. It had that special cocking lever so he could really fire quickly. There are several examples in this Hubley section.

Then there is their fabulous Colt 45 that was a full-sized model of the Civil War pistol. I love it!

Hubley Padlock Cap Gun
How's this for a weird Cap Gun? I found this in my graphics files and can't remember where I got it. If these were your photos, then write in and tell me your name so I can give you proper credit.




Hubley Smoky Joe
This is one of the Hubley Cast-Iron Cap Guns from around the 1940's or so.

Panther Pistol Derringer Set
Here's another unusual novelty item from Hubley.

Thanks to Don Raker for the photos above and Doug Hamilton for the one below.


And thanks to Jamie Linford, here is a carded version of the same gun. Jamie says that it is extremely rare to see a carded version, as they are usually found as the Panther Pistol Derringer Set.

This is pretty ridiculous, but it does illustrate how in the "Good Old Days" parents weren't as stupid (read: POLITICALLY CORRECT) as they are now.

Hubley Sure-Shot
I put this Cap Gun under the Wyatt Earp model because they are so much alike.

It's truly amazing how many Cap Guns Hubley made. But this one isn't seen very often.

Thanks to Don Raker for this contribution!

Here's a Hubley Sure-Shot box, but I'm not convinced which model it is for.


Another Hubley Sure-Shot
Here are a few more photos of this Hubley Sure-Shot in order that you can get an even better idea of what it looks like—especially up close.

Hubley Cowpoke
This Cap Gun Model by Hubley is EXACTLY the same gun as the one on the Halco page. But there is a good reason for that. They were made by the same people—just with different lettering on the side.

If you will remember, Halco was a distributing company and several other companies made things for them. Leslie-Henry also made Halco guns.

However, this gun has its own value, for if you want the entire collection, you are going to have to get it.

Hub (Cast Iron)
This old cast-iron toy gun is a Hubley. It is called a "HUB" and has the characteristic red star on its grip in just the right spot.

Thanks to Roman Rychlik
Here is another Hub, but this one is nickel plated.

Thanks to Doug Hamilton
