Jamie Linford went to a special amount of trouble
to photograph Tom Winge's collection. He also told me that it is pronounced:
"WIN jeeee." Of course, me being what these "Super Collectors" would consider a
neophyte, I don't know enough about a lot of these to properly say much about
them. And besides, there are so many photos, that I think that I'm just going
to let some of the photos speak for themselves. Tom called me on the phone and
explained many of them. You might notice that 100% of Tom's collection is
cast-iron. I asked him why and he said it was just from his time.
Sadly, I was
informed that Tom passed away on May 5th, 2012. We of the Cap Gun Community are
really going to miss one of our greatest collectors. |

Here's that Fargo Express
and a black finish American on top. It is probably the only one in
existence.
Another good
close-up.
More Cap Guns on the

Notice that in addition to
the Gene Autry lettering to make it parallel to the ground when you're wearing
the holster, but the gun has a copper finish.
An enormous amount of studs on these holsters and wrist
cuffs.

Toms
This was a
one-set only Mordt set in the Century of Progress in Chicago in 1933. The
buckle is sterling. One-of-a-kind.
And here is the
only set of matching cuffs in existence for that Mordt set. They were moving to
Chicago from North Plymouth, Massachusetts.
