18 years old. In the late 70’s till about 2001 in our area we had a local Weekly want ad paper called the Swap Sheet.
It was printed in another town and delivered every Wednesday, I knew the first stop it was delivered at and was there waiting at 10:30 AM every week.
This was before cell phones and internet.
One week there was listed was a Parker Bros. Gun 20 gauge for $200.00.
I called however no answer.
Back at that time I was a member of the local volunteer Fire Department, and the dispatcher had a Criss Cross book that crossed the phone number to the address.
I would drive nearby to a pay phone and stake it out till a car pulled in then make the call. I was always the first one there with this method!
The gun was a nice VH 20 gauge with 28” barrels my first Parker!
I remember the phone never stopped ringing while I was there!
I acquired many nice guns from the Swap Sheet!
