Antique cast iron toy Chinese cap bomb circa 1890. Logan and Best Bomb12 (3 stars). Excellent working condition with no missing parts or cracks and only a little light rust inside the mouth from shooting a few caps. Marked on back: "Pat 76". This one is in excellent condition – can see frown on forehead, creases alongside eyes, teeth, skull cap and, of course patent date. A chance to add a really great antique cap bomb in rare exceptional condition to your collection - with the following bonus!I will also send the winning bidder a photocopy of seven pages from an 1893 Ives, Blakeslee & Williams Co. catalog with 26 illustrations of cast iron toy cap shooters including 6 bombs, 2 head pistols, 3 animated pistols and 15 other regular cap pistols. The catalog gives retail prices of each toy plus the additional cost of nickel plating if available. The differences in pricing of various types of pistols makes a very interesting addition to your knowledge of and appreciation for antique cast iron toy cap guns. The Chinese cap bomb in this listing is shown in the catalog. I am selling some of my 30 year collection of old toy guns and related items on eBay because our sons don’t have any interest in them. I’m sure lots of you will find something of special interest for your collection by the time I’ve listed everything I have for sale! Please read more
