So how does that safety hammerless work? And are they still available at that price?

Actually it looks like the entire ad. It's just old school worded. I've found what the op is gettin' at , it's advertised as an "hammerless automatic" Is that it?

What year is that ad from?
What's wrong with this Gun ad?
Nothing.
The word 'Automatic' in this context relates to the means of ejection being automatic when the Revolver is opened fully.
There was not yet a connotation for the word to be exclusively used for describing 'Autoloaders' or 'Automatic Pistols' in the sense we now copnstrue them.

1905-ish
2 colons; a comma; 2 periods; 30 words: nowhere near any run on sentences on the right.
The claim that they are "absolutely safe" cannot be strictly true otherwise they would be useless for stopping a BG. It must mean that they are absolutely safe for family and friends but absolutely lethal for enemies. What we would nowadays call a smartgun. The advert could have been a little bit clearer about this.

The Second Model (1897-1908) of this gun had a safety lever added to the face of the trigger, so it must be perfect.

Check out old Sear's Catalogs and you can see similar guns for $2.00. $6.00 was a nice chunk o'change in the early 1900's. I think what they were selling was the safety factor of the gun not having a hammer with protruding firing pin that could fire the piece if dropped.
You'd hear all sorts of screams from liberals if they posted that ad nowadays. Children and Family Service types would be searching the country for this kid.
It's a shame common sense has left this country.
The Doc is out now.

I've got a Winchester md 67, 22cal smooth bore single shot. I saw the add for this rifle, it was for shooting rats with shot shells. It cost $5.95 in 1934. In the same add they sold skeet for shooting with this gun. The gun today is worth $650. according to what I saw on the internet.
