[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 482714, member: 8516"] With the Herter's catalog, I was like a 1920's prairie farmer wife, paging through a Sear's catalog for everything from "good shoes" for the kids to a dream Craftsman House to be shipped by rail to the prairie. It took about 50 years for me to finally get an eight-shot revolver--the Trapper's Gun--that Herter's advertised just to torment me in that wonderful, expansive catalog. It had listings for every feather and fly, eyeballs and taxidermist's mounts for most species of American game, and the basics and necessities to do just about ANYTHING connected with the outdoors. It was a kid's dream book. But dear gawd, if you ever have come upon a canoe or fishing boat sold by Herter's, you realize that the darned watercraft weighed as much as the trucks they shipped them in. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
