Interesting, I would have expected to see a price dip after the 1929 crash? This got me wondering if this was unique to Parker's high end shotguns or a general trend.
From what I found at
http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/70yearsofpricechange.html it looks like a general trend. I went looking for the price of bread to indicate the change in prices after the crash. I found:
Average Cost Loaf of Bread- 1930 9 cents
- 1940 10 cents
- 1950 12 cents
- 1960 22 cents
- 1970 25 cents
- 1980 50 cents
- 1990 70 cents
- 2008 $2.79
Wow, what the hell happened after 1990?
I have been told we have had very low inflation these last few years.........
