Yeah, I'll bet the shell on the far left is a Peters. The others may be Winchesters. My guess.

I just purchased a Holiday Magazine cover from November of 1947. It has a graded Parker underneath a fireplace mantel with a painting of three Ruffed Grouse feeding in a field above the mantel. All my favorite things in one picture. I wish I could figure out how to post an image of the picture. Shells on the mantel are red and either twenty or twenty-eight gauge. The signature on the painting is C. Allen. Very nice to find.

Nice photo. One silver and one brown phase. And, that V looks to have a particularly nice piece of wood on it.

Yea, and its a shame he had to do it by outsourcing the manufacturing of their clothes. When the catalog comes in and everything says IMPORTED, it goes directly in the trash. He could have been a wealthy man and kept Americans employed, but greed took hold.

Greed? Why, he's just doing what every American business leader has been forced to do in order to make the absolute most amount of money possible, even if it means selling the future out from under his own people and country. Well, I guess greed is a pretty good word for it.
