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.

Now here's a
Kilgore offering that I haven't seen before. A REBEL!!! It originally came in a
Johnny Yuma cardboard card. Notice the checkered grips on this fine unfired
example.

Here's a
MOC example of the Cheyenne from Kilgore.
Thanks to Chuck Quinn.
In this photo we see
both types of Kilgore Roy Rogers guns that Schleyer calls RR-17. The upper one
is nickel plated and the bottom one is in gold. They are 8-inch Cap Guns and
have purple swirl horsehead grips.
Thanks to Chuck Quinn.

Here is a
common Roy Roger repeater by Kilgore from about 1955. As near as I can tell, it
is RR-18 in Backyard Buckaroos. This Cap Gun was 9 inches long and had
chocolate and tan swirl grips.
Many thanks to Roy Steunenberg! |

Here are
the Cap Guns with the fancy Roy Rogers double holster set. Notice that the RR
logo is on the triangle conchos on both the belt and the holster pockets. This
set is from Scott McCollum.
A plain Kilgore Six Shooter which is a simple polished nickel
version from Chuck Quinn.

Here is an old example of a
cast-iron Cap Gun from before World War II.
Though this gun is not very valuable, it
is part of the Kilgore set and therefore very important. The goal of most true
collectors is to have an example of every Cap Gun in the series and collecting
Kilgore Cap Guns is especially difficult, as they made many different
models. |

Here are two composite photos of the early cast-iron Six Shooter
versions from Chuck Quinn. Notice that the upper photo has a little ridge above
the Circle "K" for Kilgore. I just have to think that the ones in the second
photo are slightly later versions.

Here's the composite photo for the second version of cast-iron
Six Shooter versions from Chuck Quinn. .
Here's a wonder set of
another version of the Kilgore Six Shooter with a Canadian North West Mounted
Police rig. This version is the rare blued version with the nickel
cylinder.
Photo thanks to Jim Schleyer
Boxes will
ALWAYS be hard to come by. This was a long barreled Cap Gun.
Notice on this
box that it says that it was manufactured in Canada!
Thank you
Braydon Harper for these photos.
And here is the same gun,
but American style. Cast-Iron Cap Gun.

Here is a Kilgore Cap Gun that is very much like
a long-barrel version of the Bronco (2nd Model).
But, of course,
that is still quite legitimate, as almost everybody did it. Saved on tooling
costs and designing brains.
I have never seen one of these, but some of you have.
I would guess that it is moderately rare!

Another nice Grizzly and box
and I apologize, but I can't remember who sent me this one!
The one above
this one has black grips, but notice that this one has dark brown
grips.

Okay, I admit it. I'm just a
sucker for Doug's photos. He takes such good shots that they are always photos
that I would like to see, so I figure you would too.
Thanks to Doug
