"HUB" Cap Gun.....Ka-peeew, Ka-peeew.....

[BLACKIE555]

Slower day - but real nice outside for Michigan in December.....I found 2 spoons, a fork, a Duncan Yo-Yo and a nice cap gun.....It says HUB on it.
My second mostly complete cap gun for the year..... now I got one for each hand. I'm surprised I didn't mangle it. I'm hunting an old yard in which you can only dig down about 2 inches before you encounter a massive web of roots. I saw the trigger guard and recognized it as such, so I was able to work it out. Miraculously the HUB still works. LOVE IT.

Great find, all the cap guns I have found all needed some doctoring. Looks like yours is ready for some caps!

That's a great find bmc... you know you're old when you remember using these kind of toys!
It always amazes me how well these toy guns stand up to being buried in the ground.

HUB = Hubley the made cap pistols and its a copy of a colt. You can tell by the cylinder release. Of course it does not release but that’s whose copy they made it from. Thanks those are some really cool old finds.
