Another Foster National Sportsman skeet related cover. Would the background be the Remington Gun Club in Lordship, Connecticut?

Those gentlemen in the early 1900's must have had alot of respect for hunting, fishing and shooting events(skeet and trap) as they are always pictured wearing a tie and dress clothes. Most people today don't even wear a suit and tie to church anymore-blue jeans and T-shirts have become acceptable.

What’s the date by Foster’s signature? Looks like 1943...?

I think it is Lordship Drew. The estuary of the mouth of the Housatonic River in the background and the smokestacks of industrial Stratford CT on the horizon.
