Trigger has been rough and tumbled and played with since Christmas 1959 … Nothing is left of Roy Rogers … only his white cowboy hat … I remember playing with the new Trigger and Roy in the dirt on the low backyard hill behind the Wilson River house, Tillamook, Oregon, 1960, before the 4th grade …

This is what he would have looked like on Christmas Day …  By Hartland Plastics, Inc., Wisconsin. Selling on eBay, mint condition with box, $650My Trigger, battered and faded,  is priceless!

Trigger’s original palomino color matches Perk’s orange tabby cat fur!
