A couple of recent threads lately got me to thinking Nostalgia.
The guns that seeded my passion of firearm collecting.
Sure it was the plethora of Golden Era of TV & movie westerns that got me started.
Mattel , Nichols Industries, HUBLEY and Marx were prolific in producing just about every model.
Some were very close Spitting Image and others were fantasy or stylized.
There ( aside from Denix and maybe some high-in $$$ Toy replicas ) is nothing close to the era of the late 1950's - 1960's.
The crap today with its required
ORANGE muzzle caps is sold in Dollar stores
( there no more 5 & Dimes either ).
I recall my
* HUBLEY COLT 45 DIECAST CAP GUN
* Mattel Shoot'n' Sixes ( had a pair ) and the belt buckle with swing out Deringer
* I had a Mattel Shoot'n Shell Rolling block
* Several Daisy BB guns including the spittin' image Model 1894
and the TV ad's , Who remembers Kurt Russell in several ?
