Fox Paper

[Randy G Roberts]

After acquiring a Super I had an itch for a Super pamphlet which I was recently able to acquire. It came with the 2 inserts as shown one of which is a price list from 1925. Brett had recently posted pics of his 1924 price list; upon comparison the only change was the price of an HE Grade Super 12 going from $100 in 1924 to $85 in 1925. Along with the Super pamphlet came the pocket catalog from1925-27 and the 1931-34 catalog with the Lynn Bogue Hune duck scene.

I still wonder why Fox recommended using 3" shells in the Super Fox when many, maybe most, Super Foxes were built with 2 3/4" chambers. See the last pictured pamphlet.

Nice score! That is the second Super-Fox brochure circa 1925. The original circa 1923 doesn't have the "Made in 12 and 20 gauge" on the front cover --

and has a price of $125 on page 19!!

There are two different January 1st, 1923, IMPORTANT--Change of Prices. One with the $125 price --

and one with a $100 price.

The retail price stayed $100 for 1924. For 1925 the Godshalks dropped the price of the Super-Fox to $85, for 1926 they dropped it to $79.60 --

This price drop may be associated with the move into the new more efficient factory

Finally for 1929 it dropped again to $66.50 --

Bill Headrick gave me a photocopy of the Savage Super-Fox brochure, but I have yet to score a real one.

Randy, nice score on the SF pamphlet and the others as well. They all appear to be in great shape! I appreciate the paper as much as ai do the guns themselves.

The one piece of A.H. Fox literature that I've been waiting to see for 62 years is the tag as in "BARRELS NOT GUARANTEED-SEE TAG."
