Jostam Recoil Pad sales brochure

[Scott Smith]

Jostam Recoil Pad sales brochure from Kirkwood Bros., Inc. Boston, Mass. 16 pages. Features R. A. King Jr. and lists the GAH winners from 1930. Sorry the pics are rotated. Don't know why that happens?

I've got two of those booklets with the same cover, one mentions events won by shooters with Jostam recoil pads up to 1934 and the other up to 1948. None picture any of the shooters though.

[Scott Smith]

Thanks for the response Dave. Cool booklets. Just guessing, but the one pictured might be from ‘31 based on the featured shooter. Also, so the Kirkwood Bros. Address is in downtown Boston near Faneuil Hall.

Can you make out the artist that painted the illustration. Looks like it maybe a Foster.

[Scott Smith]

I have no idea who the artist might be, but very well executed.

The picture is signed down in the lower left. Best I can make out might (or might not) be F.W. Ramona.

It's not just the old posters and adds that are attractive. I collect shotgun shells with full boxes and some of those old shell boxes are works of art.

sure looks like Foster's moniker.

Nope - on closer examination it's Hy Hintermeister.
