Cool old firearm advertisments

[Zem18]

So I had to drive from Binghamton to Syracuse this morning to take my Dad for a test at University Hospital. Preliminary results look good but will find out more in two weeks.

So on the way home Dad is starving after fasting for 12 hours plus so he said to stop at Craker Barrel. I had never eaten at one so we stopped and got seated. Lots of trinkets and older signs and things decorate the store. These pictures were hanging by our table so I wanted to share them.

Very cool Zem...Thanks for sharing...

Can you IMAGINE making a functional, quality firearm for less than Ten bucks...??

[Mr VJP]

Sure.  Back then the US Dollar was worth something.

I'm glad I saw them. There was an ad for Kleanbore .22 ammo dated 1930 and it was in color. Didn't know if was legit or not but looked awesome. I should have taken a pic of that too. Pretty neat stuff.

I also did a quick search on Hudson Sporting Goods Co. (The name on the top of one of the pics) and saw some older ads for long guns that people were trying to sell. I found it interesting and again thought I'd share with everyone.

Neat!  I used to have one of the Iver's.

Very cool. Were you able to tell what year the adds were from??

The pistol ones did not have a date so no luck there. I saw some other ads that were up for sale from Hudson that were from the 1930s though. Definitely early 1900s IMO.
