Well, here's Mordt. I'm not even going to try and
pretend that I know a thing about the Mordt Company—except that it was in
Chicago. I hope that some of you will enlighten me so that I can add to the
record. Obviously their products are still being collected and those who
discarded them in the "Good
Old Days" are now regretting it!

This is an extremely
rare (though perhaps not all that valuable) Junior Ranger set from
Mordt.
And here's what's left of a Texas Ranger set from Mordt.
Notice those deep dips in the holster pockets? That seems to be characteristic
of Mordt holsters.
Well, after saying that the curvature in the pocket just
screams, "Mordt," I guess I am going to have to surmise that this set was also
made by Mordt. It looks like a set that must have been made during World War II
because of the patriotic symbols on the box. The holsters have written on them,
"Let "em Buck." If any of you have a better idea of who made this set, then
please let me know.

These photos
are of a 1928 Mordt Jr. Ranger .32 caliber. There are so few Mordt Cap Guns
left that I am including one of the very old cast iron guns. Photos by Mark
King.
Here's a good example of what you can do with some leather and a
lot of talent. The holster on the right is original and the one on the left is
a reproduction of the same. The Cap Guns are Mordt (and the right holster).
Chuck Quinn says Ed can make anything!

This is a
vintage Mordt kid's western holster and belt. The Belt has 7 painted wooden
bullets. The back of the holster is signed "Made By The Mordt Co."
Many
thanks to "unverviking" for these photos. |

This same holster is in even
better shape. Mordt products are really scarce, but not necessarily very
valuable since not as many people collect them.

Mordt Cap / Dart
Gun From The 1930's
|
|
|
|

Mordt made a few really nice
cast-iron cap guns and this one is a good example. Actually this gun fires
darts too, according to Jim Schleyer.
I have purposefully left the rust on the
gun, but it is hard to find cast-iron guns of this period (the 1930's) that
aren't rusted a little now. You will notice that this version is the more rare
of the two versions, in that it has the pearl grips. |

Well, I may as
well just paste in the full-sized photos, as Mordt Cap Guns are a little hard
to come by! This is from about 1932 and is the same basic gun as that one
above, but it doesn't have plastic grips. I don't really know if it fires the
darts.
Photos thanks to Jack Rosenthal
Here is the same gun,
but also with the box, which Chuck tells me is much more valuable than the
gun!!! In many cases that is true.
