Wink Parker 16 gauge history

That's interesting and I too have seen those calculators for modern day costs as compared to costs of the day. However, in 1938 the newly enacted minimum wage was $.25 per hour and today I think it's around $15 an hour. That's a 60 fold increase. If we take the selling price of $227 times 60 that's about $13,620 if it were new, which makes a little more sense to me. Any way you look at it that's a beautiful gun and an incredible value at the Cabela's selling price. 45 states participate in the Power Ball lottery, I suggest you buy some tickets.
