2 Antique Cast Iron Cap Guns Late 19th Century
Item Details
Description
Two toy guns purchased new by an ancestor who served in the Civil War. GUN #1: IVES GIANT Ives Manufacturing Company, founded in 1868, built an early black powder toy cannon and soon began making cast iron cap guns. This single-action cock and shoot GIANT, 4 3/8” long, is similar in style to Ives’ popular and slightly longer POLO from 1878. But its grip, rather than being checkered, is filigreed like their relatively rare double-barreled CRACK. GUN #2: LOCKWOOD ECHO Lockwood was a Victorian-era hardware manufacturer that patented its unique ECHO cap gun on June 10, 1881 and cast that date on the right side of the receiver. At 4 3/4” long, this very hard-to-find repeater has a revolving cylinder and rotating two-sided trigger design that allows double-action firing. 4 3/8"; 4 3/4". 1878-1881. cast "Giant"; cast "Echo"
