The J. and E. Stevens Company of Cromwell,
Connecticut was a very old company. They were making toy guns before most of
the other companies were formed.
They made some very old cast iron models that were
pre-World War II—some were in the 19th Century! After World War II they
started making die-cast Cap Guns just like everybody else. But they didn't have
much innovation and besides, as you already know, the "Glory Days" of the Cap
Gun Industry were getting ready to be over in the mid-sixties anyway. So the
Stevens Company went the way of the "tumblin' tumbleweeds."
