No kidding we'll never see that gain, $80 for a Colt Officer Model

:)

How about $17 for a NIB GI 1911A1 bought from the government? (yes, our government when it was still "our government")

It's changed over the years but here it is.:)

I would love a full-sized ad of the Iver Johnson hammerless ad.

Prices have gone up a bit. My first shotgun - a 12 ga pump, used, in good condition, cost my dad $25. I remember Mosin-Nagants advertised for $14.88. A new 30-30 lever action was about 75-80 dollars. I also remember 30 cent a gallon gas and a decent lunch for under a dollar. I carried a shotgun into high school to put on a safe gun handling demo...no problem. Today they call a swat team for a kindergarden kid with a butterknife in his lunch box

Bought my first 870 Wingmaster at a Walgreens drug store for $89.

I don't go by "Gun Geezer" for no reason.

I can remember those prices. I can remember a Browning Hi Power going for $110.
I was buying .22 long rifle ammo at Sears for 50 cents a box of fifty. Bought a Winchester 94 from a local dept store for $69.95.

First Ruger standard auto, $37.50, Blackhawk $67.50, Super Blackhawk $96. Original Second Gen SAA $125, Python $125, New Frontier $140, Gold Cup $150. Smith M&P 87 bucks....these are from when I was in high school. Model 12 was about $125 and a Superposed Browning was $325.

I bought surplus rolling blocks, Springfields, Enfields and so on and never paid over $20 each..had about fifty when I went to college. Sold all of them for tuition and made a minimum of 200%....If I'd hung on to them I'd be getting 1000%-2000%.

"ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE IMPOSSIBLE"


Really?

Like the first one, but man is the second one is just bad.

Remember the guns of the time, having a gun that wouldn't go off when dropped was a selling point. I love the second add, reminds you that this country wasn't always seemingly paranoid about gun ownership.

I love when members find these old ads and post them

I've got some from 1898 for various Winchester products at a Hardware Store in Tennessee. Found them in scanned records I was QCing...I can post them when I get home

Absolutely safe, eh? Then why is it *not* a toy? :D

Looking at those old ads makes me sad at what this country has become.

Probably won’t see this one distributed anymore either.

Rather embarrassing. :rolleyes: (look closely)

Are those rounds loaded backwards?....

I can remember when $72.00 bought a new Winchester 94. Think it might have been Sears.

These do make me sad. Boy, I wish it was still like the '50s when you could buy an anti- tank rifle without months of paperwork, licenses, background checks, liberal laws/ freekouts, and not to mention only for $98.50. And shooting/gun ownership was NORMAL! nowadays if people even find out you have a .22 pistol they tend to get wide-eyed and scared. I may have only been on this planet since the mid 90's but I know that things weren't always as screwed up as they are now....

oh yes the cartridges ARE in the magazine backwards in post #22

Yup!


I'm sure the folks at HK know better...but apparently whoever did the photo-shoot doesn't know their way around a gun or ammo. :rolleyes:

Still, you would think someone at HK had to sign off on the brochure before it was distributed. :o

Joe Camel ads. You won't see those again either.

Joe Camel killed millions of more people than any gun !

He can be CCW'ed without a license though..........

These are all great. I laughed pretty hard when I saw the H&K ad.

How about a full-auto Broomhandle for bear? :uhoh:

http://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/astraad.jpg

I posted the entirety of that ad (http://www.forgottenweapons.com/the-astra-903-nothing-new-in-advertising) (4 pages) today, coincidentally...

GET BIG DICK and be envied by every boy in town....


Actually, you DO see that sentiment on TV all the time these days, only it's not for a toy gun... different times indeed....




Well, someone was gonna mention it.... :evil:

Joe Camel ads. You won't see those again either.

He was pretty smooth! And the Marlboro man.

This page has scans of over a dozen machinegun price lists from 1956 to 1986 (when Hughes punched the Bill of Rights in the face)

Big Dick?! O.o Heheh those ads are pretty cool though....

Rather embarrassing. (look closely)

too funny!!
