Manufactured in 1914, grandfather paid $23.50, good investment I'd say, lol. I bought the cigar though.
According to dollartimes.com $23.50 was same as $555.83 of today's money. Doesn't sound to expensive back then until you figure a loaf of bread was about 6cents and a gallon of milk was 12cents.. Pretty sure $23.50 was not easily came by in those days.
That's freaking awesome you have it and it looks in excellent shape. Nice Lil weapon. I do however think your slipping, cannot believe you can't scrounge up a 102yr old cigar to match it with. What's up with that bro?

Disregard that bro Randy, checked the box it came in, was $20.50. Don't think those parts prices are the same now either. Appraised at %90-95, it's in better shape then me for corn's sake, and it still shoots when you pull on it's trigger, lol.

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...

Freaking awesome you still have the box and parts/price list. I'm sure it's priceless to the family. Would be to me.

No cigar in the picture, but you can damn sure bet that I was smoking one at the end of that day.
