Pappy, I loved my cap guns , too ! I would get a whole 50 cents allowance, and kept my little pile of the half dollars on the shelf, and watched it grow, so I could save up enough for the latest wonderful gun and holster set at the Five and Dime store. My mom would always pay half, so that helped me to save up for it faster.
Roy Rogers was my first hero, so anything that had his name on it, was top choice for me. Of course, being horse-crazy, it was Trigger that I really loved, and nothing that I wanted more than my own pony.
I remember that Wonder Bread had a coloring contest, and the winners got to go and see Annie Oakley at the rodeo.
I don't remember if I won, or if my mom just took me, but seeing Gene Autry and Annie Oakley was pretty special, and I am sure the autographed pictures that I had signed, would be worth a good price today, as well.
