Sears, Montgomery wards, Otasco, TG&Y sold guns? I can remember as a young lad looking through the sears catalog and looking at all of the firearms they offered. Or going to the Otasco on Main Street and buying a .22 rifle. The TG&Y had a decent selection as well...I still have a box of 30-06 ammo with a TG&Y price sticker on it... |

I remember when you could MAIL ORDER your shotguns from Sears. I remember looking at the catalog with my Dad and picking out a Noble 12 ga and an American Eagle 410. I still remember the day the mailman brought them to the house. My Dad passed away last fall, I still have both shotguns and many memories of hunting with my Dad. |
Yup, those were truly the good ole days. |
Holy shit you're old!!!!!!!!

I dont but I have a lot of ammo and odds and ends with original price tags that my grandpa left behind. The box to my series 81 mini 14 has a walmart or kmart tag iirc |
Well maybe a little, but the 410 was for me, I was just a little feller back then.

got my first real gun from tg&y in 1976, worked with my pop all summer long, so when school started back up I got a combo of payment for a summer's worth of hard work, a birthday present and christmas all rolled into one, a glenfield 22lr single shot bolt rifle for whopping price of $25. can't remember ever buying a gun from otasco, but I bought a shitload of ammo there, it was the only place in Norman that would sell a kid ammo, helped out my pop had an account there. |
