This is a copy of an actual advertisement. Look at the listed price of the firearm.

I own an Iver Johnson .22 revolver. Fun to shoot. Well it was fun, until I lost it in a boating accident.

I couldn't believe this ad. Imagine a child playing with a gun in an ad today.

I can remember as a teen seeing a Enfield Jungle Carbine for sale at Modell's for $24.95. This had to be near 1958 or so when they were just about giving them away.

Mind this was in NYC in New York State back in the day.

I remember when you could buy a long arm by mail just by sending a check--and I mean centerfire military surplus M1 carbs or any foreign made mil surp like a Mauser or Lee Enfield, or go to Sears and walk out with a JC Higgins .22 rifle even if you were a kid. Pistols, you needed your parents, but you could get a .22 rifle just by saying you had your parents' permission if you were about 16. And this was in Illinois.
