You bring back a lot of memories to me.  I don't remember the brand but I had cap pistols as a kid.  We would play cowboys and indians.  If we wanted to make a really big bang, we would take a whole roll of caps and hit it with a hammer!  If I remember right there were 50 caps on a roll.  A box of five rolls was a nickel.  Of course a nickel back then was just about equivalent to a dollar now.  Back then soda pop was a nickel, also ice cream cones and candy bars.  There was one candy bar (Full Dinner?) that was three cents.  And i could buy three nickel bars for a dime.  I had a lucrative business going.  The school was close to the little village.  I would walk down to the store during lunch and buy candy bars three for a dime.  Then sell them to the other kids at school for a nickel a piece.  That is til the school shut down my business.  Man, you can't get away with a thing when your mother is assistant principal!
