Cap gun

[IronSpike]

A friend of mine found this cap gun and I took a pic for a possible ID. Any ideas as to brand or age?

Didn't find any good coins, however my friend did find a silver 50 cent piece

IS, It's somewhat hard to tell with all the rust, but it looks like a cast iron ACE cap gun by Kilgore that was made in 1935. Kilgore made 2 models of the ACE; one in 1930 and in 1935. The 1930 model was slimmer, and not as stocky looking as the 2nd model. It was a single-shot cap gun and used Mammoth namebrand caps.

Good job on the silver, and I like the keyhole eschutcheon. Breezie

I found a website that has many pictures of cap guns of different brands, just click on the "OTHER BRANDS OF CAP GUNS (Etc.)" and check out all the cap gun, there are many, a great site, and all of the guns are in pristine condition, if not in new condition.

I look through many photos until my eyes got tired, some looked very much like your find, but I didn't find an exact match, but I didn't look at all of the brands, you may find yours on this site.

Skip, Mike really has a great website, and there are some cap guns from our collection pictured on his site, plus several of our customer's guns. The majority of the guns on his site are die cast instead of cast iron. Breezie

Thanks for the help and ID on the ACE Kilgore I think this 1925 is very close:
