Kilgore, of Westerville, Ohio, was DEFINITELY one
of the largest sellers of toy Cap Guns in the old days. They made a lot of
quality cap guns and also made a lot of the roll caps. Uncle Talley assisted
them in modernizing their equipment that made the roll caps and thus made it
more profitable for everybody. Their line of Cap Guns will always remain in the
top of the brands that are desirable to collect.

I could have put this
photo of Kilgore boxes on a number of pages, but finally just decided to stick
it right at the beginning of the Kilgore section. These are all foam filled and
shrink-wrapped. Mighty nice.

Kilgore Machine
Pistol
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
We may as well start out with
something really weird and that is this Kilgore machine gun (pistol). I have
never seen one of these and since it is being added to this website rather late
in the game, then it must be reasonably rare.

Rare Pristine
1955-60 Kilgore Deputy Cap Gun
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
No matter how you slice it,
this is a rare Cap Gun. This one was manufactured by Kilgore sometime between
1955 & 1960. It is a 7-inch long die-cast Cap Gun that has a revolving
cylinder & shoots disc caps. All metal gun including the grips. Nickel
finish with great engraving. Page 203-TG-137 in the Jim Schleyer Backyard
Buckaroos (that you can still get as a reprint from John Bracken!) book.
It's not often that you see an absolute mint pristine condition vintage Cap Gun
like this that is straight from the end of the assembly line!
Thanks to Doug
Hamilton for these photos! |

A Different Kilgore Deputy

 |
|
|

Well, another
fine collector sent me these photos of a different version of the Deputy. I'm
going to have to do a little research on this one, as I haven't seen it
before.

Kilgore Buck Cap Gun
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This Kilgore
Buck is from the 1955-1960 era, which as it turned out to be, was the "Golden
Age" of Cap Guns. The grips on this gun are what I think set it apart. High
relief and lots of detail.
Many thanks to Mark Leinberger for these
photos! |

Here is this
BUCK Cap Gun in all of its glory, as this example is ABSOLUTELY MINT!!! This
particular example is probably better than 99% of the ones coming right out of
the factory.
Thanks to Doug Hamilton for these photos! |

I
realized that I didn't have a very big photo of the Kilgore Buck Cap Gun, so I
put this one on here.
Photo thanks to our friend Jack Rosenthal of Toys and
More.
This rare boxed set was probably distributed by HALCO, but
since the Cap Gun that came in it was a Kilgore Buck, I stuck it here.

Kilgore
actually made a very similar Cap Gun to the Mustang, but named it the "PINTO."
The barrel is a little different too.
Photos thanks to Steve Arlin one.
