As far as the collecting part of this all goes, I couldn't imagine collecting just Foxes. They're just part of a collection of American-built shotguns to me and the Lefever will hold the greater fascination among them.

More than 20 years. Started out with a 20 Ga Sterly. then a 12 Ga Ejector pin gun in about 90% orig con. Of course I sold it. last one I sold that I regretted and still dont know why I even put it out for sale was a 32" Sterly Trap in 12 Ga with better than 95% case color, 98%+ orig. blue and 98% wood. A closet queen.
but there are some of everything from a Sterly to SW S&U toSPE's to CE's and everythign in between, many shapes and sizes.
