Fox Collectors

Does anyone know if there might be any sales records still existing from Sloan's Sporting Goods of Ridgefield, Conn.and New York, like Griffin and Howe has with A&F? I remember them advertising big up until I think about 1965 in the American Rifleman. I remember it was at one time owned by the Walzer family. Also I am looking for anything similar on the J.K.W. Southwick Sporting Goods store from Newport, R.I. I have Googled some and can't seem to hit the right information. I have two Foxes and a Model 21 that I can trace that far. I was hoping you guys back East might have better area knowledge. Thanks, Lee.

Recently, someone posted the full history of the Shoverling, Daly, and Gales and Sloan's and other companies who were involved in that progression. I don't remember where I read it. I have never heard of any existing Sloan's records.

Bill, I saw that also---- it may have been Drew Hause on the LCSCA site.

Thanks for posting. Sloan's sold some wonderful guns to interesting people, but I suspect that we will never know the details. I once lettered a Parker DHE 16 to Sloan's that was owned by Annie Laurie Crawford, whose guns were auctioned in London a few years ago. She inherited about seventy million US dollars before she married into money. She had some great guns, some of them apparently from Sloan's.
