  1. Gotta love them toy collectors. Spending 300$ on cap-guns is more than I'd dare imagine. And I've got quite an imagination you know.

  6. If you look closely at the artwork on that box, you will see that the guy on the horse about to overtake the wagon is Roy Rogers. That horse is a palimino. Champion was a Tennessee Walker. The photo looks to be from one of Roy's movies of the early Fifties.
