Single Traps at the Southern
I think I covered the display and sales tables pretty well at the 2022 Southern but don't recall seeing a single trap of any manufacture all weekend. Does anyone recall seeing any single barrel treasures?
|
I saw an LC Smith SBT. I believe it was Josh's table but I am not sure. That was it for the American made ones and I was looking too
|
Fox traps are as rare as always, and oddly, Firetower Doubles didn't seem to have any Ithacas to display. My friend, Swindle, had a great selection of Lindner Daly doubles, but no singles.
|
Now that you mention it, I remember one Ithaca. It was hiding on one of the vertical racks
|
I saw the Smith, and two Ithaca SB traps. One was on a vertical display, another on a table had a zip tie around it to prevent opening and it was worn and may have been off face. There was nobody at the table and it was near one of the displays with a pickup backed up to the tent, tailgate down with a lot of empty gun cases in it, if that helps. I think the price was $2,200. That was Friday AM early.

Couldn't agree more, Murph! An unmolested Fox SBT is a veritable TREASURE! Rarely do they come out to play except for special occasions like this one at Hausmann's a dozen years ago. Remember when? Attachment 106401 |
You are correct Bill, I am sure there was one or two, but I do not recall seeing them.
|
I’m questioning the need for three Parker SBT guns . Heck two of them I’ve not shot yet .

If I only had three Parker singles, I would get up real early and go shopping.

I saw this example at the Southern
|
I did have 3 Smith SBT guns - Specialty, Eagle, and Crown grades
|
Mike, tell us about that gun. Thanks.
|
Josh, what do you know about the A-1 Special? I understand that it was on a table near yours. Sorry I missed it.
|
Bill, as you are aware only 4 A1 Special SBT’s are known to exist. This is the 2nd one I have seen and handled. To be honest I didn’t record any details like bbl length, stock configuration, etc. Josh may be able to give more details.

The above S-A1 will be in the Guyette and Deeter auction in February. John Deeter’s booth was next to mine.

:corn: And once again the world is waiting for a picture of the "Murphy trap gun collection". Remember Bill, the gun must have all of it's parts to be considered a gun. PML :corn: |
The gun belongs to Charlie Hunter.

The stuff thats coming up in February is I think the cream of Charlie's gun collection . |
Will the February auction be held in Maryland?
|
Yes - the sale will be held in MD as I understand from John Deeter.

Decent places to eat in Easton, Maryland open and close on an annual basis. The most recent are always overpriced and rude. What are Daryl's recommendations?
