I'm in Wisconsin, I bought an Ithaca Flues from a man in TX, He got from Maryland. While cleaning it up I found a 1941 WI hunting license under the butt plate. I put it back and sold it to a man in Alaska. If these old guns could talk!!!!

I once owned a 1917 gun that had a 1918 hunting licence in the stock. I laminated it and put it back inside. It was an Ithaca.

The only bad result that could come of this since he is still living is to find out it was stolen.

That would be a good thing. Looks like he still lives in the same town.

If the age is right on that health grades site then I doubt that's the same guy.. He'd of been 17-18 in 1951? Maybe that's his son?

Several years ago, I bought a Winchester model 61 .22 pump rifle made in the mid 1930's.
I pulled off the butt plate and found several locks of very fine redish blond hair wrapped in a 1936 era Denver Post newspaper and a 1936 series $1 bill (silver certificate). Put them back in the gun. I still have the gun. |
