Vintage Pony Boy Cap Gun and Holster
$55.99
Vintage Pony Boy Cap Gun. Metal base and plastic handle. Comes with the leather holster. Measures about 10" in length. Very good condition. The door for the caps seems to open really easily. I don't know if it's supposed to.
This mid-century Pony Boy cap gun and holster set is a quintessential piece of childhood Americana, reflecting the Western craze that dominated the 1950s and 60s. The toy features a die-cast metal body with a polished silver finish and ivory-style plastic grips that are textured for a steady hand during imaginative backyard duels. The barrel is clearly embossed with the iconic Pony Boy branding, a name synonymous with the golden age of western toys. Accompanied by its original deep chocolate brown leather holster, the set shows remarkable preservation with sturdy white contrast stitching and a decorative braided leather tie.
The mechanical action of the trigger remains crisp, and the side door for loading caps is fully intact. While the cap door opens with very little resistance, this is often a characteristic of the spring tension in these specific vintage models or simply a sign of a piece that has seen light, careful use over the decades. This set serves as a nostalgic display piece for a collector of Western memorabilia or a unique addition to a play-themed gallery wall. To highlight the rugged textures of the leather and metal, try styling it on a rustic wooden shelf or inside a shadow box alongside other mid-century adventure toys.
This item is vintage, approximately 65 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
