"FOX SPECIAL" SP Grade ad

Post by Researcher »

While looking through my paper collection pursuant to the recent thread on the 20-gauge SP-Grade, I found this ad I'd forgotten I had. It was a flyer sent to dealers showing ads that were to appear in the March (1932?) issues of Sporting Goods Dealer, Sporting Goods Journal, Hardware Age, Southern Hardware and Hardware World.

This was optimistic pricing because by the first appearance of the FOX SPECIAL in June 21, 1932, Retail Price List and Wholesale & Retail Price List the prices were --
SP-Grade -- $48.50
SP-Grade with NSST -- $54.00
SPE-Grade -- $61.00
SPE-Grade with NSST -- $66.50

The other ads were for the Savage Model 23 D HORNET SPORTER and the Savage Model 99 RS made for the New Savage .250/3000 -- with 100 grain bullet. Of course with the 100 grain bullet it was really the .250/2670 :lol:

Dave, thanks for sharing! I sure wish my grand father would have bought two or three of them at that price and put them up for me!! You have an amazing paper collection. Brett

Dave: Is this flyer a single page; and some normal size, like 8.5 X 11 or early 30's price list ? Ed

It is 18 inches wide by 12 1/2 inches high. As I said, the righthand half shows two ads for Savage rifles.
