Gene Autry Set
Includes Tooled Leather Belt and Holster with Toy Gun
Without Gene
Autry, the entire notion of the Singing Cowboy would have been drastically
different. Gene really did work as a Cowboy, although he owes his career in
entertainment to his work as a telegraph operator. It was none other than Will
Rogers who urged the young operator who liked to sing to pass the time in the
office to seek out a career in the business.
After his first break on radio in Oklahoma in 1928, Gene quickly grew in popularity and expanded the little program into what eventually became the immensely popular Melody Ranch Program. The film industry happened upon his talent in 1934. Roy Rogers ultimately surpassed Gene in the film arena, but each held their own when it came to TV Western programming for children. Both offered superb, wholesome programming that continues to delight people the world over.
Celebrate this Western Hero with this licensed product. This set comes with a matching top-grain cowhide belt and holster than have been tooled and stylized with rivets. The durable toy gun will also stand up to years of use and abuse.
This Cowboy set is made by the John R. Craighead Company, which has been proudly making leather goods in the heart of the West since 1876.
