page 19 says that the Quality Trojan is a New Gun At $27.50 NET

The Trojan was introduced in 1912.

I found the price sheet from my Flying Geese Catalog, it is dated January 1 1912 but there is no price for the Trojan. My catalog has a Trojan page with a price of $27.50. The price sheet, order blank and a one page insert showing the cost to convert extractor guns to ejector. The appears these three sheets were inserted into the Flying Geese Catalog.

The Trojan was introduced in 1912 but maybe not on January 1st.

Were these three pages inserted by Parker Brothers as an addendum to the catalog perhaps later in 1912 or 1913 or later?

Craig, you're the man who should know. Are they ducks or geese on the tan 1915 catalog? What variety?

Craig Larter 02-20-2020 05:33 PM

So maybe the Flying Geese catalog was 1912 post January and published to catalog the new Trojan but why a list of $27.50 and not $25.00?? By the way I paid $300 for my FG Catalog last year on e-bay so I stand by my estimate of value. The ducks on the catalog do not match any in North America.

Parker Bros. did eventually lower the price to $25.00 in order to compete with other 'entry level' guns on the market at the time.

I have a reproduction of this catalog. The company that reproduced it refer to it as a “1913 Flying Duck” catalog.

thank you Craig L for the 1912 price list, although the guns on the page line up the prices do not. So I would have to assume this is not a 1912.
Reggie B could this be the 1913 Flying Duck catalog that you have. Reggie does your catalog have a price sheet?

page 27 also has a picture of the ducks that maybe the same ones as on the cover.

I have no price list. My reproduction cover looks exactly like the one CL posted a picture of.
