My old toys need medicare

[AJ]

Guess I was in "High Cotton" as a kid. After I got out of the hospital after having open heart surgery in 1958, my parents bought me these. They are Hubley Colt .45's, approximately the same size as a real one. Even had lead bullets with copper cases to go in them. Made for the old "Greenie Stick-em Caps". When you pulled the trigger and fired a cap, smoke came out the barrel. They hung down past my knees, in a double rig.

One Christmas I received a "Stallon .45" Pescemaker. It took six cartridges that the bullet came out and a single cap was inserted in each cartridge, reloaded in the revolver and when the trigger was pulled the cylinder rotated and the cap fired.

Pretty much the same as mine do. The cap was placed on the bottom of the lead bullet( Bullet had a hole through it) and the copper case was put over that. Then as you pulled the trigger the cylinder rotated and the cap fired with smoke coming out the muzzle. Not correct for this day and age!!
