Sometime in the late 50s my parents bought a bedroom set for my older brother and me. Included was a desk and bench seat. In 1968 (I was 12) we moved from NJ to AZ, the desk came with us. In 1984 I moved to Colorado and brought the desk/seat with me. Both my sons grew up using it and the drawers collected all kinds of “stuff”. It’s been sitting unused in the basement for almost 20 years.
Late this afternoon I decided to go through the drawers and clean them out. Among a myriad of interesting items, some from my older son’s army career, I found a miniature cap gun from the Marx Company. I remember getting it at the Five & Dime store in our small town in NJ. It looks like a model 19, has a swing out cylinder that holds a single cap, popped by pulling back the hammer and letting it go as well as a plastic holster. It’s in pretty rough shape but it holds some fun memories. I put a penny with it for scale. Thanks for reading.
