There were dozens of westerns dominating the television airwaves, throughout the fifties and early sixties and there was no boomer way you would watch Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, Lone Ranger, Wanted Dead or Alive, Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, Annie Oakley, Sky King, Maverick or Tales of the Texas Rangers without your own personal set of cowboy hardware to roll play along with your favorite TV heroes.
I have great memories exploring the vast western territory known as my Brooklyn Neighborhood fighting off the bad guys with my Shootin Shell Fanner 50 by Mattel Toys.
I was lucky back in the 1980's to talk Mattel Toys into letting me restore part of their film archives before the ban on showing toy guns took hold. Don't worry in other posts I show those great Winchester rifles.
