A kid I knew was the "sidekick" on the show and later on while in our teens we used to tease him a little about that. We were a little jealous, of course.

I had a gunbelt with two holsters hanging on it holding 44 Colt revolver style cap pistols. I think it was a Lone Ranger item. I also had a pump action Daisy BB gun which I dearly loved. My brother and I played cowboys and Indians for hours, often switching roles.
You forgot Sky King.
