Give Me a Gun or Somethin'! The Monster's At the Door!

Dig that Sonic gun Buddy!! Wow!!

Kinda like Batman used against the Penguin's sub in the 66 movie!

Christmas time always brought me cowboy cap guns...this is a Mattel Fanner 50. Unlike the Shootin Shell Fanner 50 on a previous page this one is simply a fanning cap gun...still pretty cool. It is dated 1961.

Mmmmmm roll caps! I just love the smell of caps. I need to add a cap gun or several to my toy collection.

[Scatter]

Me too Hep.......that is, if Buddy left any out there for us.

[bigbud]

Hep and Scatter....two of my favorite people! Hope you both had spectacular holidays! I love the smell of caps fired too......

[Hepcat]

I was much more into sci-fi and horror as a kid than I was into westerns, and the only western I ever watched on TV was Bonanza. As a result, I had few cowboy related toys other than a Deputy board game (which I reacquired about five years ago),

Moreover, when it came to cowboys and Indians, I was on the side of the Indians. As a result, I had a beautiful bow and arrow set but no six gun that could fire off a roll of caps. Now of course I'd love to have both a M.I.B. cap gun based on the Lone Ranger or Wyatt Earp or some other cool character, but I'd also like a loose cap gun that worked well so I could fire off cap rolls in the house!

I know what you mean, the smells gotta bring back alot of memories. I recall those little 1 cap metal rockets you could toss in the air (they'd ignite the cap on impact). Found 1 at moms a while back. I'd have hated to be on the receiving end of an errant toss!

[Hepcat]

Oh I loved those! Parents being what they are these days, those little rockets haven't been sold for decades.

[bigbud]

I always liked the ones that had a spaceman standing in the middle of the capbomb! Got one here somewhere....I'll start diggin'! Didn't they have a Batman capbomb too?

[jimm]

Didn't know there were manned ones. Too cool. Ours were just heavy little metal skull busters!

[Hepcat]

The ones I had were more like this one with the sharper point:

[jimm]

Thems are fancy, here in podunk, we just had metal ones

[bigbud]

Ain't no bigger podunk than the one I live in jimm....don't be using that excuse........ha!

[bigbud]

Found one! The little spaceman is holding on to both sides of the rocket/spaceship he is riding in...kinda fun idea...I loved it as a kid.....
