Vintage cap gun

bruinvikes · Jun 25, 2017

I just found this at one of my usual hunting parks. I'm not sure of the era, but one of the sites said it was from the sixties. I can't remember which site it was but it was either Etsy or Pinterest so I'm not sure if I can believe that. The gun was six inches deep and rang up 94 on the VDI of my F70. I also found the full main piece (head) of a Timex watch that was four inches deep. What's funny to me about the watch find is that the wristband is gone but both pins that would hold the band on are still on the watch.

Any cap gun enthusiasts out there that want to chime in? All input will be appreciated.

http://www.nicholscapguns.com/kilgore5.htm Some neat info here. Just from the box graphics I would guess 50s to 60s but I didn't see anything definitive.

Congrats, very cool vintage toy and in awesome shape! My toy guns always seem to be in pieces/parts but never the whole thing.

Was intrigued with your find. Did some looking around...Looks like it was made by Kilgore Manufacturing Company sometime in the 60's or earlier. Hope this sheds a little light....
