HUBLEY Toy Gun Collection RARE

The Hubley Manufacturing Company was an American producer of a wide range of cast-iron toys, doorstops, and bookends. Toys, particularly motor vehicles and cap guns, were also produced in zinc alloy and plastic.
The company is probably most well known for its detailed scale metal kits of Classic cars in about 1:20 scale. Starting in 1960, Hubley participated for a couple of years with Detroit automakers as a plastic promotional model maker. Many Hubley toys are now sought-after collectibles.
The Hubley Manufacturing Company was first incorporated in 1894 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania by John Hubley. The first Hubley toys appeared in 1909 and were made of cast-iron, with themes that ranged from horse-drawn vehicles and different breeds of dogs, to tractors, steam shovels and guns.
In the late 1930s, the company began shifting to diecast zinc alloy (mazac) molding similar to Tootsietoy which had been doing toys in diecast since 1933.
Foreshadowing the post-war diecast boom, and perhaps in an attempt to steal some of Tootsietoys' thunder, new mazac and plastic Hubley toys were now called Kiddietoys - a name which was used at least until the mid-1950s. Household objects such as doorstops and bookends were also produced, but automobiles, trucks and airplanes gradually became Hubley's mainstay.
The Hubley Manufacturing Company made accurate metal replicas of many popular American cars and trucks, with some foreign models also represented. Construction, farm, and fire vehicles were commonly produced, as well as motorcycles.

Face palm. Holy crap. I own a Ric-O-Shay cap pistol. I played with my dad's as a kid. I literally thought "Ric-O-Shay" was some low rent tv western guy's stage name until I watched this. Ricochet. Ricochet. Wow......

Mattel Fanner 50 still have and a Hubley. Although I might be over 70, still neat to help on old Western Movies.

I had a gun like this with a tape that causes the sound. But it didn't look realistic

[@michaelhewitt258]

Those are WAY COOL

[@paulwolf7562]

I think, by the time, I came around most of the toy guns were plastic. You had some that were wood and metal,( the 1903 Springfield and the Civil War toy guns). But, most cap guns and so on, were plastic.

Had full size version and carried it in my Mattel holster. Nobody could best me on the draw!!!!!?

[@vegastrina]

The one in the middle looks familiar, but I think I had a smaller version. I always thought cap guns were cool. Can't say I remember the maker, as a kid I didn't care so much who made the toy, as long as I had fun with it.

Nice! Only can you not spoil the first one by putting your super over top?
