"FOX SPECIAL" SP Grade ad
Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2018 7:48 pm
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
