TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/08/2012 8:18 pm It's a Hubley Star circa 1955 to 65 cap gun mfg in Lancaster PA missing the 4.5 inch (or so) barrel and ejector rod section. Worth finding for fun and excitement but a fairly common cap gun. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/08/2012 10:06 pm Can you imagine the fun that thing saw? I had several cap guns as a kid and that was surely one of them. I guess this one broke when one kid got the bright idea to whack a whole roll of unused caps with the butt of the handle? ( I was smart ... I used a brick ) Report this Post to the Staff

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 07:56 am Cool! That sure brings back memories, all us kids had cap guns in the '60's and '70's...buy a roll of caps and shoot up the neighborhood...I could be wrong, but I'm sure they don't sell em in the store anymore, they'd be plastic guns anyway. ffd When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 09:53 am I don't know if you can find a roll of caps anymore. They used to come in a box with 5 rolls inside and you broke off a roll as they were perforated and stuck together. The box probably cost a whole nickel or a dime, tops, and you opened the side of the cap gun and fed the end in under the hammer. When we played "cowboys and indians" or "good guys - bad guys" if you ran out of caps ... no problem, you kept on playing and just yelled "BANG! .... You're dead!" The poorer kids weren't left out, they could use a stick as a carbine if it looked close enough for our imaginations to be a long gun. Report this Post to the Staff
