Here is a rather fabulous collection of Cap Guns
from Thomas Lynn, who says that nearly all of his guns are MINT. He says that
in mint condition, they represent a better investment for the future. I know he
is right.
TOM'S OWN WORDS:
My name is Tom Lynn and I live in
Illinois. I grew up on a farm, so there were always guns around (real and cap).
When first interested in serious cap gun collecting, a couple of dealers
steered me to focus primarily on mint items. The guns pictured are mostly
Nichols along with a few other brands and a sampling of other interests.
Don’t have a lot of room to display my stuff, so most pictures are
arranged in groups. If interested in anything shown or just want to talk cap
guns, shoot me an e-mail. Thanks for the interest and hope you enjoy the
pictures.
Mike's Words:
I hope you will forgive me for
interjecting some of my own comments. I love this collection. Why wouldn't I?
It's got a lot of Nichols in it. |

This gun rack shows Winchester and Saddle Gun rifles both by
Mattel and a Marx double barrel shot gun (shells on top pegs). It has Wild Bill
Hickok spurs hanging from it and a Mattel bandolier belt filled with bullets on
top.
Here are Nichols
Stallion 45 Mark II cap guns w/boxes, Nichols/Kusan Stallion 45’s in the
Collector’s Series shadowbox and Nichols Stallion 45’s w/boxes
(shrink-wrapped). The middle shows Nichols 45 bullets in the clip and plastic
cases, also aluminum 45’s in Jerry’s Bike Shop boxes.
The Apollo Lunar
Spacecraft model kit, Lionel train, Texaco gas truck and Big-Bang field cannon
(small and extremely loud) were saved from my youth. There are also examples of
various lunchboxes, thermos bottles and other items. “How about a nice
Hawaiian Punch?” with a radio featuring “Punchy.”
A few boxed/carded
Nichols and other small guns - Lone Star, blue Dyna-Nite, 2 Halco derringers
w/clip, Esquire Hide-Away, Kilgore One Shot and 2 Nichols derringers. The
center shows a gold Pinto w/clip, Stallion 300 bullet clip, Nichols 38 shells
in plastic cases and 2 Lone Ranger aluminum bullets (2 piece, hollow inside).
Different western badges surround all - Wyatt Earp carded badges signed on back
by Hugh O’Brian.
This
depicts the 3 color versions of the Model 61 holster with 2 belts. The maroon
belt, holster and gun shown are from a Nichols Civil War Holster Set. There are
3 chrome and 2 blue Model 61’s pictured with scattered 3 piece bullets.
Most of you don't even realize how rare these holsters actually are. I have
never even seen one myself. (Mike)
