Hubley toy guns

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

I brought them to work as part of my Halloween costume - didn't get to dress up, though, due to work deadlines. But showed the guns to my boss who said they are probably worth quite a bit. I have a couple of revolvers and an automatic probably from the 1950's. Made in USA. Anyone have any experience with this type of item ?

1. I don't know much about them, but after checking ebay solds I'm going to keep an eye out.

4. I wonder what the difference is.

ebay puzzles me sometimes. The other day I looked up a camera I had found and one went for $250 and others were going for $35.

5. I think the lot of three are replicas

Real 50s-vintage (like I had as a kid) Hubley toy guns don't have the federally mandated orange barrel plugs. Neither did the later versions of the same Hubley guns that my kids had if the early 80s.

6. That's good info to know when looking through yard sales. Thanks.

7. We were just talking about toy guns here at the house the other night

When I was a kid in the early 50s I had a cowgirl outfit, a holster and a cap gun. I loved it. Who knows what brand the guns were. I don't think the folks would have gotten anything too pricey. But I played with the gun(s) for years since I liked playing with caps.

There's a great book about toy guns - just an fyi. One of my favorites for purusing. The values are from several years ago but he sure has great photos for identifying.
