Cast Iron Cap Gun, Pistol, Shooter, Toy, Shoo Fly 1878 Three Star

  

NOTE: DUE TO A STROKE, I WILL BE LIQUIDATING MOST OF MY 19TH CENTURY CAP GUN COLLECTION OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS. IF LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL, PLEASE CONTACT ME. CAST IRON CAP GUN 1890 "SHOO FLY" THREE STAR.

REFERENCED IN S17.1 LOGAN & BEST PAGE #133. WILL ONLY APPRECIATE IN VALUE BECAUSE OF ITS PRISTINE CONDITION AND FUNCTIONALITY. NOTE: THIS AMERICAN MADE TOY FIRST APPEARED IN POST CIVIL WAR RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD AROUND 1878. IT APPEARS TO BE IN UNFIRED CONDITION.

IT HAS BEEN IN MY COLLECTION FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I HAVE SEEN ONLY ONE OTHER.

Whether you are a seasoned collector or just beginning, this "SHOO FLY" would surely complement your collection. Also, Who could ever forget Dinah Shore singing: "Shoo Fly Pie And Apple Pan Dowdy"? THIS LITTLE CAP GUN IS VERY RARE AND QUITE WHIMSICAL.

IN OVER 25 YEARS OF COLLECTING, I HAVE SEEN ONLY ONE OTHER "SHOO FLY" AND IT WAS BROKEN. THIS ONE IS FUNCTIONALLY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY, GREAT PATINA AND NO EVIDENCE OF EVER BEING FIRED.

AS AN INTERESTING NOTE, NO ONE LIVING TODAY CAN IDENTIFY JUST WHO MADE THE "SHOO FLY" IN 1878.................. RULES WE MUST LIVE BY.
