COME, come, Mike Pryce, in your last article about old toys, you stated that Hopalong Cassidy's horse was "Silver". It was indeed "Topper".

The Lone Ranger's was "Silver" and his native American sidekick was Tonto.

Sorry, my boyhood was spent wearing a cowboy suit and in front of the black and white TV, circa 1953 onwards (rented from Bakers). It was a sad day when I hung up my guns and holster, both made by Lone Star.
