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 Panther Prototype

This
Hubley Panther is probably a prototype and is so rare that it doesn't even
exist! But somehow Steve manages to find gold in a lead mine.

I put this one right under the
Panther because they are so much alike and probably both prototypes.

This is a blued Hubley
Marshal and the Hubley name is on the bullet extractor on the right
side.

This is
the same Hubley Marshal as above, but is not blued and has grips similar to a
Hubley Texan on a previous page.

Well, if the Marshal above is a Hubley, then these "RANGERS"
ought to be Hubleys too, right? They are exactly the same, except for the grips
and name.

Here's
the same gun, but merely labeled, "HUBLEY." It must have been made very late in
the company's life.

This is one of the Little
Cap Guns by Hubley that was produced in 1960, but I like it. It's simple and
ornate. It says, "CHIEF" on the left side and "HUBLEY" on the right
side.

Hubley Texan
38

Well, I didn't find this one in
the book, but the gun is clearly marked, "TEXAN 38."
And, of course,
it is a Hubley.

It's pretty hard to beat this
close-up!
Click to see it even larger!
Such nice photos cannot be overlooked, so I just
had to add them. (click on the upper one) The top one is a great close-up of
the Hubley Texan 38. The bottom one shows the holster set that the Texan 38's
came in.
Thanks to Jim Manning of JM Toys for this
contribution.
And here's a small
Hubley bullet clip for the Texan 38.
Now here's something you almost
never see. A brand new case of these Hubley 38 bullets and clips.
Thanks to
John Iannuzzi.
And here's a large Hubley
bullet clip for the Colt 45 just to compare sizes and styles.

Australian
Hubley Gunsmoke
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Now here is one that you "State
Side People" (and the rest of the Cap Gun World) are probably never going to
see.
This is the same gun as the Texan 38, but is re-labeled
"GUNSMOKE." It was actually made in Australia by Toltoys, an Australian
company, apparently a company that leased the rights from Hubley, so I am
"calling" it a Hubley.
It was marketed as The Gunsmoke Fanner, as Gunsmoke was very
popular on TV (even in Australia) at the time. If you notice, it also has a
fanner-type hammer. Kim says that the "GUNSMOKE" has traces of the same red
paint as the star, so it was red when new. The photo at the lower left shows
the "AUST" which I am informed was a common abbreviation in Australia
for...Australia!

Here's a Cap Gun, the
CowTyke, that is not easily mistaken for another! This MINT beauty has what
looks like may have been inspiration for a scene in a famous movie! A horse's
head handle. Nice clean gun. There were several versions of this concept made,
but this one is rather rare. Notice that there is no scrollwork on this gun.
The example of this type of Cap Gun in Chuck Quinn's collection is called a
"Mustang." And his is mint and on the card! You should check out those
collections on this website.
Photo thanks to Brian Wolf! Thanks
Buddy!
Here's what it looked like after Hubley sold out to Gabriel, and
this one is MINT ON CARD (MOC).

This is a
version of the Tex that is VERY simple!

Hubley "Tex"

This
Hubley Cap Gun is like the Smoky Joe, but it is the "Tex."
All Photos Thanks To Tom Coates. |

And here is a beautiful
photo of the Tex with white grips. I am constantly amazed that people will put
their photos on an auction site and then have virtually no description and a
photo that is CRUMMY and out of focus or poor lighting, but this photo is about
as good as it gets!
Thanks to J. Marcus Fultz for this nice photo.
Here's the box for the Cap
Gun above.
And here's another one,
but again, in gold!

This is

HUGE.

Here's a Hubley Trooper made completely out

Die-Cast Hubley
Trooper
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Here is a more modern version
of the Trooper which is made out of die-cast alloy. This one is Mint On The
Card (MOC) and deserves a little special recognition for that. It must have
been made in the later Hubley years.

And here's one more Hubley cast-iron cap gun.
You know, the people who donate these photos certainly don't have to, but they
are also interested in preserving a little of our history and building up the
Cap Gun Hobby.

Hubley Western
Cap Gun

This is a rather simple Hubley pistol that is
8-1/2" long and has a nickel finish. The grips that are sort of...staghorn are
a little unusual.
Thank you so much Sue Zentz for this photo! |

One of the
rare cast-iron guns with LONG BARRELS (!) that you seldom see.
This gun is
found in Schleyer's Book as a Hubley. I have never seen of of
these.
