- Return with us now to the Saturday mornings in front of a black and white
TV (and theme music we would learn later was the William Tell Overture,
written for an opera?).
Although these Western Heroes are all gone now, how could any of us old enough to remember ever forget! And who would've
thought your set of six-shooters with their holsters would fetch hundreds,
sometimes even thousands of dollars now. When Mom gave them
away years ago while you were in the military, (or was it later when you
were in college?) she never realized
how much sentimental value they held. Here's a chance to replace one item
that has become very rare and collectable. This is only the second toy chest
of this type we've been able to find in the last five or so years of
diligent searching. It's made of pine with beautiful pine knots. The chest
is original except for the addition of a safety lid support that holds the
lid in any position you leave it. (So that little fingers are not pinched,
if you want to pass it on to a younger generation.). We've cleaned and
resealed the wood and left just enough bruises on it to show its age. The
artwork needed some slight touch up but is mint now. We cleaned and polished
all the original metal buttons. The rope handles are
original and still very strong.
The last step was to coat the entire inside and outside surfaces with an
invisible protective clear-coat.
We thought that was the last step until we decided to give up some of our
favorite Western Hero photos and include them with the chest. The photos are
all mint and framed to match. This is a fantastic collection of memorabilia and it won't be long before
someone snatches it up, so if you like it as well as everyone here then give
us a call, toll-free on 1-877-653-8786 or email us at

we'll have it professionally packed & on its way to your home within hours.
