Want to see Sears Robuck military catalog from 1917???Yes you do

[www.gutenberg.org]

Wait till you see the Colt .45 Automatic Price....

I like looking through old catalogs like this.

Sears was selling military equipage back in the day!

Project Gutenberg is a gold mine of info if you start to dig into it.

WARNING: it can become addictive..

Great info,Keith--lots of fun with the Way Back Machine.

Another one you probably know about is the Bannerman Catalog.

The mounted machine gun costs as much as a 1911 does today!

Did you see the Colt"s Police Positive Revolver, I have one that is SS, not blued. I got it at a flemarket for $125.00 and cost $10.00 to get it fixed to shoot like new.

Very cool! Thanks for the link.

Outrageous prices..... $22 for a 1911 pistol ! Ha !
Thanks for sharing this.
