Another 20 gauge..Ranger.........
 

This came from an estate in Ohio..28"..M/IC...Cut checkering...3/8" thick red pad that says..Gart Bros. Sporting Goods..Denver, Colo...I THINK this is a Stevens Model 315 or 330..Colors are 95++...blue near perfect..Wood finish about new. Bores gleam..Double ivory beads..As far as I can tell...the RANGER name was stopped in 1946 when J C Higgins was introduced..Just had to have it !

really nice gun hard to find in this good of condition.....I would have bought it too...charlie

Nice! A keeper.

My 20ga Ranger isn't quite as nice as yours but it's been a good gun...

Another nice one!

Same style RANGER marking as my mother's 12-gauge I began my bird shooting career with. Don't know when she got it, but she is holding it in the righthand picture here dated October 1934.

your mother must have been a good shot from the looks of the duck s seen in piture....what kind of boat is that on the right in the picture...I love that log landing mat...charlie

Great vintage pics, Dave!

What great memories your Mom and Dad must have shared.

That’s an amazing picture. Looks like a Boykin too.

Dave, you have the Parker your dad is holding??? Any idea where the pic was taken?

The pictures were annotated Engstrom's Landing, Rice Lake, Minnesota, October 2, 1934. A week and five days before they married and headed west. The dog is a Water Spaniel. Family always said Irish but many seeing pictures say they look American. Grandpa's Parker went to my Uncle Howard and last I knew his grandson had it.

Looks like a sneak boat Charlie and it looks like that pic was taken at a duck club. There were a LOT of duck clubs back in those days. Most are just memories now.

I know a Rice Lake in MN, but my guess is there are several.
