By the way, it was great to have Tom Kidd participate in this thread. If anyone knows more Parker and Fox people from the old days than I do, it is Tom Kidd. Hauling guns that are worth a half million bucks in today's money in a mid fifties Chevrolet sedan delivery is real brave. Of course, Tom's old Chevrolet would be worth about fifty grand today, if he still had it. I have a clear recollection of Tom laying out three XE Fox 20 gauges on the hood of his sedan delivery at the Pikesville MD Armory parking lot when we were a bit younger. The most expensive ones were $1400. Even back then, that was cheap. He must have had his eye on something.
