Fox Collectors

A while ago I picked up this little Fox folder, which was apparently made for dealers to hand out as it has a space for their name and address.



It uses some of the same graphics as their magazine ads of the era --



The folder pictures an A-Grade on the inside and has seven endorsement letters on Fox guns dated from June into September 1912. It desribes and prices the A- to FE-Grade guns and mentions their "surprise" gun the Sterlingworth--a good gun--cheap--not a "cheap" gun, and states "Ask for special descriptive folder". Anyone have or know of one of these descriptive Sterlingworth folders of this era?

........definitely a nice piece. I like the fact that it mentions the 16 & 20 ga guns too. I was wondering if you were going to be able to shed light on the "Sterlingworth" piece?

I think I may have the one you're referring to. If I could figure out how to post a picture I would!

Shoestring,

If you can't figure out how to post a picture, you can email them to AHFCA@comcast.net and I'll post them.

Dave - Thanks for the offer. I am trying imgur.com and it seems to be fine although a link needs to be clicked on so it's not the most efficient method. This might have the Sterlingworth pamphlet if I did it right http://imgur.com/a/44D01

..........the hits just keep on comin' & comin" !!

That sure looks like what was being talked about in my folder.

That Sterlingworth folder showing the Model 1911. Wonderful!

Shoestring: do you happen to have a hang tag related to the patterning of the Super Fox HE Grade?? Craig

Craig - I don't know what a "hang tag" is to be honest. I think I've looked over and separated out all the Fox Gun stuff and I haven't seen anything called a hang tag. The majority is old paperwork; some old ledgers, letters and such.

Just like the "Graded Gun" folder this Sterlingworth folder uses graphics that were also used in magazine ads at the time.





Great couple of pieces that not along ago I didn't know existed.
