Somewere packed away I have a very old field and stream collection I inherited. With it is a catalog (I believe it was a wolf mountain catalog but could be wrong) that is almost as old as I am. I kept the catalog because in it was a Ruger 10/22 takedown rifle in a leather briefcase with scope, iron sights, magazines, and room for four boxes of ammunition. It was designed for small game hunters on the go, according to the ad. The price list on it was $24. . . . . .
In one of the field and streams was a ad I remember for a hawkens rifle in 50 caliber hawkins for $34 plus shipping. It included a leather scabbard, and a round ball mold for it. I will never forget it because I was already hooked on Jeremiah Johnson (the movie) when I first saw the ad in the magazine. You just don't see those kinda great ads anymore GoodOlBoy
