Red Dwarf Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi all, They say curiosity killed the cat, Good thing I"m not a cat ! when purchasing your brand-new space cap gun in the early 50s, did you have to shell out extra for a box of caps, or was there a roll or two included to get yourself started ? If yes, did they have their own packaging ? Also anyone who collects period cap boxes could they be kind enough to share some pictures ? Has anyone ever seen a space themed cap box ?

mrmovieprop Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 In most cases I dont think caps were included. I have seen caps with their own packaging. Its more cowboy ones as they were the dominant cap guns of the past. The roll caps were they usually in boxes I think? the round ones have been on cards for decades of various packaging designs.

Red Dwarf Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks MP, I do have 3 roll cap boxes J E Stevens, Halco and a Brocks C P Amorces made in England The other two being American. Don’t know the vintage of any of them but the J E Stevens must be early 50s or earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe K. Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 This site has an extensive listing. I didn't see any space themed boxes, though. https://vintagetoycapguns.com/acme-caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
