1932 Mail Order Parkers and LC Smiths

[Don Anderson]

It's 1932 and you are shopping for a shotgun. $100 is equivalent to $2300 in today's money. What to buy?

GHE skeet gun for me, if only one could still be purchased from a catalogue for $177.45…

You were in the "Country Club" set or above, that hadn't lost it in the crash, if you were shopping for a $100 gun in 1932!!

Yep. The AAHE would be $17,500 in today's dollars.

On the other hand $100 invested in the S&P 500 in 1932 would be worth over $2 million today.

I will take an A-1 special skeet gun in .410. Post haste!

AHE 28 gauge. Straight/splinter, two triggers. Two sets of barrels, one 30 inch (.002/.011) and 26 inch (cylinder/.007).

So, what’s my delivery time? I have special engraving requests.

(Great thread, BTW)

Nice. I'm sure I'd want a 28. Unsure of configuration, but I like your selection. I might add a vent rib to the 30" barrel.

Not sure of the shipping interval, but you get $1 shipping since you spent more than $20 and "EZ-Time" payment plans are available.:rotf:
