Some people still expect gunsmiths to work for 50 cents and hour.

I have seen some work from "gunsmiths" and that was what they should have been paid.
Had an octagon barrel muzzleloader tapped for a scope. Could not get the bullet to seat over the powder. You can guess why.  "All are not hunters that blow the horn." |

Fifty cents per hour was their retail labor rate but I wonder what the worker was paid.

January 1904, but as Dean said that was the retail rate. Laborer might have made $.20 or $.25/hr. would be my guess.

I searched the web and it seems that the average wage in 1904 was $.22 per hour. I also learned that 18% of the households had at least one full time servant or domestic. I doubt that at $.22 per hour that they could afford a Parker, BUT I assume that at least 18% of the households could. Business must have been good for Parker.
