Thank you both for the Love(-:
gargoylecollector, Thank you for your comment, but I'm probably not the only one.
untill someone else posts one your the only one I know of with an awsome cap gun sign!:)
The two that are currently on ebay both say they're not that old.
I collected Hubley for quite some time. I would be the first to agree that these items are not antique. However not everything old is of value either. You have a collectible brand name. Hold these if you can. They won't sky rocket but to a collector missing these you have an edge.
