(August 25, 2010)-Made the big decision to get out of the business of selling individual CALENDAR PAGES.

(Janary 30, 2009)-added 3 complete sets of Philip R. Goodwin Portfolio's/prints that are for sale.
(1/28/2008)-I am listing 4 early WINCHESTER CARTRIDGE BOARDS for sale. These four (4) boards, (1879/now SOLD!), (1884/now SOLD!), (1897/sold!) and (1902/sold!) are the last remaining BIG BOARDS that I have in my collection. In preparation to moving to a smaller house, I am selling the larger items in my WINCHESTER collection and a significant part of my Philip R. Goodwin Collection. I have had requests to share some pictures of the 3 small WINCHESTER BOARDS that I am going to keep. These are listed as NOT FOR SALE!
(note:- also selling all pieces in my LIFE-TIME collection of "WINGO" (ca.1970/71-ICE TARGET SHOOTING PROGRAM, that was very short lived). This includes two rare WINGO GUNS, one of which is fully equipped/very rare! (now sold!)
I am still very actively seeking those WINCHESTER items that I need for my collection. I have posted these under the LINK called"Tim's WANT LIST".
Recently I have also undertaken to add to my collection of Envelopes (or Covers) as these cancelled envelopes are more correctly known. I am actively seeking ALL BRANDS of SPORTING related Covers, not just WINCHESTER. Also LETTERHEADS of any SPORTING COLLECTIBLE type.
Lastly, I am seeking selected SHOTSHELL boxes by the CLINTON CARTRIDGE CO., the KIRKWOOD BROS. of Boston, Mass.. the MERIDEN FIREARMS CO., the MONTGOMERY WARDS Co. U.S.A., the SEARS, ROEBUCK and Co., the PETERS CARTRIDGE Co., the U.S.Cartridge Co. and the WESTERN Cartridge Co.
I am also buying any shotshell box that says or has any designation of a "HARDWARE STORE". These may vary from just a few boxes made up privately by a Store or they might be the more traditional ones produced by a MAJOR CARTRIDGE firm like "WINCHESTER" or "PETERS". The Boxes will likely carry the name of the HARDWARE STORE, but all the loading will be done by the cartridge firm. There is ususally a notation on the box, stating who loaded the HULLS/shells. These are listed in full detail under the "Tim's WANT LIST" section of this website.
As always, I will buy direct from you or pay (up to a 10% FINDER'S FEE) and take all the risk myself. I can't possibly be at all the local Auctions, flea markets and estate/tag sales where this stuff still frequently shows up. I wish you good luck, hope you find some good items and call me. I will buy on the first call, given a good description and price!
