A 6'6" 3wt Howells sold recently for $5,000, so I was told. Its the same adage as in Parkers; the less broadly useful, the higher the value to some. That's why I am going to miraculously find a Parker BB gun. I figure I'll start at a reasonable $30,000.
We had a BB gun thread here a couple years ago. I thought I had it made with a near mint in the box Daisy Red Rider, and I knew that Bill Murphy had not started collecting those in the second grade. But then that darn Dean Romig steps up with some fantastic high grade well tennis shoed collector edition Daisy BB gun and puts all the rest of us all into the bottom feeder class of collecting. Just goes to show, there is always somebody with something better out there. I think its a mint , un-aired, only touched by cotton gloved hands, high grade made during the best years of Daisy.
