Gary, this is CH's catalog. Maybe ask him? The closest I have is the Baer repro of the 1897 NY Salesroom book.

Gary, my portfolio was issued to H.J. Strugnell. The office address is the Empire State Building. I think Dick Baldwin told me his first name was Harry. The fortfolio is number 108. If you have a portfolio, would you share the name of the salesman and portfolio number? Thanks. Bill Murphy

At different times, Harry J. Strugnell was "general sales manager" and "western representative" for Remington. He had offices in San Francisco in the war years. If we knew when his salesman's portfolio was issued, we could pin down when he was situated in NYC. Maybe Ken Waite or Art Wheaton know who these people are.

I guess I killed another thread. And these guys seemed to be so interested.

Bill, My portfolio number is 94 it is locked in the safe and to be honest with you have never looked for a name, sorry so long getting back to you but was supposed to leave for fla last week but was waylaid. I had put everything up for the winter so to speak, when I return I will inspect it closer, I do know mine does not have the cover that came with them but other than that it is complete and in excellent shape.

Jeff, that is the same card that is bound with my portfolio. My research material does not include the Leo Murphy name. Of course, Remington had dozens of reps nationwide and some hardly shot a shotgun so we don't hear much about them. Gary, I know you have that travelling sickness so we'll wait until you get home to check your book. My portfolio is without cover also. I watched Pat McKune's portfolio with cover go unsold for years on his website at a fair price. I should have bought it to get the cover, but I guess it is in safe hands. When he first showed up with it back in the nineties, I made him an offer, which he refused. It probably took him ten years to sell it.
