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!

This is just such a nice photo of this gun with a holster that I
had to put it in.
Thanks to Dave Klein for the photo.

Here is the
little brother for the regular Ric-O-Shay. I am told that this Cap Gun also
makes that sound by the hammer hitting a wire that strikes a metal
drum. |

This box for the deputy (and
Deputy Star too!) has got to be rare.
Jack Rosenthal , one of our advertisers from
Toys and More, contributed this photo.
Here's a
good view of the inside of the box, with the Cap Gun. Dave Klahn

Here's an even rarer box for the Deputy which includes a Deputy

This is an even better close-up of the cylinder area of the Flip
Cap Gun from the TV show. This is from our friend Rich Hall.
Here's one of the last Cap
Guns made by Hubley and this one was made for Sears in 1963. Notice that the
grip has a mountain lion on the grip. Mountain lion, catamount, cougar, puma,
panther...whatever! But, as far as I know, it is the only cat on a
grip.
I'm almost
reluctant to include this set, for it was made AFTER the days when Hubley was
in the driver's seat. They had sold out to Gabriel and the end was in sight for
the "Glory Days of Cap Guns."
Here's a cute little pair of
Hubley Stars.
Photo donated by Joe Garvey. Thank you very much.
Here is a Hubley Paladin model. It is
much more rare than the Leslie-Henry version of the Paladin.

And I guess if all
of these Cap Guns didn't keep you in line, then...it's off to jail for you with
the Sheriff! These are from our friend Chuck Quinn. He says that it came from
Hubley and who am I to differ?
