[Researcher]

When the Sterlingworth came out in 1910 it had a price of $25. The price stayed at $25 thru 1915, then climbed quickly to $55 by 1919. A.H. Fox Gun Co. reduced the price to $48 in 1922 and again to $36.50 in 1926. Workmanship of course declined.

Parker Bros. introduced their Trojan Grade at $25.50 in 1912. The Trojan’s price climbed like the Sterlingworth to $55. Parker Bros. kept the price and the quality of the Trojan high and sold about 33000 total. Fox began cutting the price of the Sterlingworth and sold well over 100000.
