Johnny Yuma - The Rebel's SCATTERGUN!

Here's one of my favorite cap guns. This baby is a whopping 21 inches long, and has the look and feel of a real gun. And it's mighty dang close to the prop Nick Adams carried on the show. 

This gun was made by Classy Products, an outfit that made a lot of cheap-looking Roy Rogers pistols. This one, which doesn't look cheap at all, has a lot of fragile plastic. That's probably one reason it's rare today.

The fine print inside the cap loading chamber reads "Classy Prod. Co. Woodside, NY." The name Classy appeared nowhere on the box, but one of the end panels (as you'll see below) says "Harvell-Kilgore Sales Corporation, Bolivar, Tennessee." Never heard of Harvell, but Kilgore was a major player. I'm guessing they handled the distribution, at least on this gun, for Classy. 

Cap Gun Monday: THE REBEL'S SCATTERGUN (out of the box)

OK, last week I showed you the appetizer. Now here's the main course. This baby is a whopping 21 inches long, and has the look and feel of a real gun. And it's mighty dang close to the prop Nick Adams carried on the show. The main difference is that Classy added the fancy scrollwork on the casing. 

The fine print inside the loading zone here reads "Classy Prod. Co. Woodside, NY," meaning this was made by Classy Products, a relatively minor player in the cap gun field. The name Classy appeared nowhere on the box I featured last week, but one of the end panels says "Harvell-Kilgore Sales Corporation, Bolivar, Tennessee." Never hear of Harvell, but Kilgore was a major player. I'm guessing they handled the distribution, at least on this gun, for Classy.
