\"Hopalong Cassidy Favors Spun Honey - Spreads Like Butter\" Night Light - Unused and NEAR MINT-MINT (AND WORKING). HOPALONG CASSIDY was the hero of twenty-eight western novels written by Clarence E. Mulford in the twenties, thirties, and forties. Giving testimony to the lasting popularity of this fictional cowboy hero is the very real fact that a dozen of the novels are still in print. In 1935, Cecil B. DeMille brought Cassidy to the screen starring William Boyd in a feature produced by Paramount Pictures. Paramount made 34 more pictures with Bill Boyd as Hoppy and United Artists produced 31 others, also with Bill Boyd. Never in Hollywood history has one man played the same character in as many features. When audiences the world over saw the films, Bill Boyd and Hopalong Cassidy became synonymous. Time Magazine in 1950 said, \"Boyd made Hoppy a veritable Galahad of the range, a soft spoken paragon who did not smoke, drink or kiss girls, who tried to capture the rustlers instead of shooting them, and who always let the villain draw first if gunplay was inevitable.\" Boyd himself said, \"I played down the violence, tried to make Hoppy an admirable character and I insisted on grammatical English.\" Sixty-six motion picture features starring the same actor is an incredible feat! No wonder, then, that this large body of work led Bill Boyd to television in 1950. Boyd, with remarkable foresight, had purchased the television rights to all the Hoppy motion pictures and licensed 52 of them to the NBC Television Network to be telecast as one hour episodes. Hopalong Cassidy\'s popularity led to probably the first wildly successful marketing campaign for a single character. Thousands of products were produced using the likeness of Boyd as Hopalong Cassidy. This is one of those outstanding collectibles. It was issued some time between the early 1950s to 1966 (I have been unable to pin it down more accurately), at the height of the popularity of Western stars. This great Hopalong Cassidy night light measures 1-3/4\" in diameter, has two prongs and has never been used, so it still lights up.
