I know what it is but can you place an age on it?

Most pages say 1950, that one says 1941 in the 1950s era. But you can bet it's between 1940 and 1950.

Gene Autry was known as "The Singing Cowboy" and made many "B" westerns in the late 40s and 1950s. His side kick was Gabby Hayes. They also had a popular early TV series. Being from the state, there is a Gene Autry, Oklahoma down in the southern part of the state. Gene recently died when he was in his 90s and living in California where he was very well known as a business man. Red Ryder was of the same era or perhaps a few years earlier and he was also a B cowboy movie star. His side kick was a small Indian boy named Little Beaver. Today's society would look on that relationship with a bit of schepticism I'll bet. And Red Ryder and Little Beaver were in a lot of comic books. They endorsed Daisy BB guns in ads on the back pages of the comic books. Red was never as popular as Gene Autry and I don't know what ever happened to him. Little Beaver was played by then child star Robert Blake of the TV show Baretta fame. I am reciting this from memory as I lived it! Monty

Gene is on the Westerns channel also. Pat Butram and Smiley Burnette were also side kicks.
