Wild Bill Hiccup? Help ID a western toy

[Falstaff13]

In the late 1970s, I remember a toy called (I am pretty sure) Wild Bill Hiccup. It was a cowboy toy (made in a cartoonish style) on a horse, and it had a plunger type item attached to it, so that when you hit the plunger, the cowboy "hiccupped" and bounced/jumped on his horse. I never had it but remember it in a small store (and remember wanting to get it). I've tried searching for it but mainly just find references to a more recent cartoon that used the same Hickok/Hiccup pun (not to mention Wyatt Burp, a joke I'm guessing has always been tied to that name).

Can anyone help identify this or provide a picture? (Or even have one to sell?)

Hi Hugh'
I recently won a box of old toys at my local auction. I was curious if they had any value,tried ebay with no results.
I googled wild bill hiccup toy and your post was at the top of the page. YES! They do exist,I have a blonde cowgirl and an indian both in
original boxes but the boxes are a little rough. I can see the plunger you mentioned at the back of the box,it is yellow.
I am not very good with computers and am very busy with my work right now so if you would like pictures I will have to get
someone to show me how to do it. Might take a couple weeks. Does 25 bucks a piece plus shipping costs sound fair?? I live in Canada,I'm guessing 10 to 20 bucks shipping.
Thanks. John ketelaar.

I am interested but would love to see pictures if there's any way. By the way, what company is listed for them?

Hi Hugh,
The hiccup toys were made in Taiwan and on the box it says Made for Eatons Toronto.
Which makes me wonder if Eatons had an exclusive to this toy how did they end up in Raleigh NC?
That is if thats where you saw them as a kid. Anyway I will try to send you some pictures[may take a while]
Do I send them to this site or to your e-mail? My e-mail is: dovetail_antiques@hotmail.com
Pretty cool how the internet can hook up two people on such an obscure item!
Thanks. John.
