I remember in the early '60's visiting my grandparents , who lived about a 5 minute walk from the Weatherby store in Downey, California. My grandfather used to take me to it whenever I visited him. It was such a thrill, even back then. That is an old cartridge box!Not sure how old these are, that's about a per price shot now!

I looked up the address on the box, it looks like a run down auto repair place now, in a bad part of town.I remember in the early '60's visiting my grandparents , who lived about a 5 minute walk from the Weatherby store in Downey, California.

Pretty cool.
I like the guys in the silvertip ad wearing plain pants, shirt and fedora hats. What do we spend now just to dress to hunt? I know wages were a lot less back then.Pretty cool.
Modern Technology.
I wonder if anyone back then had any idea what it would lead too!
Those old boxes make great display pieces!
Love the old Savage 99's. Have three of them. Killed my first several deer and elk with the Savage. Hope we don't have to change its name with all this political correct stuff. LOL.View attachment 34772
Here is an old photo of my old man holding his Savage 99.
This was taken in the late '40's or early '50's. That rifle was chambered in a .250 Savage round. Back in those days it was safe to have a gun cabinet like such. Not today! He never hunted, but enjoyed shooting firearms. I still have some of his pistols.
I do in 20g.
You probably have some old Herter's catalogs laying around. I loved those catalogs!Want to see what your guns, etc. cost 60 years ago? I have several Gun Digest books from the 1960s listed in the Classfied section. I also have the same vintage of several Stoeger's Shooting Bibles that I haven't yet listed. If I only knew then what I know now.
My closets are filled with some really ol' stuff, but I'm too old & don't have the energy to look.
I have only one. In my office behind my desk is a 10' long wall that has book shelves floor to ceiling. They're filled with outdoor-oriented books from the '60-90s. A lot are 1st editions, and many of the ones I've sold over the last few months were autographed copies by some well known folks such as the late Pat McManus. Another closet is crammed full with Plano tackle boxes that are filled with lures & plastic baits. I haven't looked at them in 10 years or so -- about the time since I last wet a line.You probably have some old Herter's catalogs laying around. I loved those catalogs!
Absolutely! I can smell it to this day!There aren’t very many things in the world that smell better than a federal paper......
I have nearly all the older gun digest books including the first issue which I believe was 1945. I even have duplicates in some of the older years. I don't have all of the 2,000's though. I planned on swapping the duplicates one of these yearsWant to see what your guns, etc. cost 60 years ago? I have several Gun Digest books from the 1960s listed in the Classfied section.

That is super cool... You should frame that piece of history. ??
