(Tim's-For Sale list!)
(last updated-October 30, 2008)
My news and notes-(most current are listed first)
(my birthday-October 30, 2008)-added 11 great pictures of a very rare "STAINLESS STEEL" Winchester M-97 shotgun.
(Weekend of June 29, 2008). I have sold many items recently and I am eliminateing them from the listings. I have added a very nice WINCHESTER STORE POCKET WATCH and 3 Winchester Golf clubs-all in this section "ITEMS for SALE".
(May 15, 2008) I am in the process of listing all my (ca.1950's) Winchester cardboard and related Advertising. I have decided to sell this entire part of my collection. You can find these new listings, by just scrolling down past this text, then past WINCHESTER CARTRIDGE BOARDS, past WINCHESTER STORE and then you are to the 1950's items, they are listed under "Winchester Advertising for SALE!" (in a special category!)
(April 2, 2008) All my single shotshells, Window shells, and sample kits are now listed in the May 39th. 2008 (Auction #32), WARDS Sporting Collectibles AUCTION. Watch for them!
Today (1/28/2008)-I am listing 4 early WINCHESTER CARTRIDGE BOARDS for sale. These four (4) boards, (1879), (1884), (1897) and (1902) 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).
For the first time I am listing my LIFE-TIME collection of (post WORLD WAR II-Winchester smalls), I am selling them ALL! Just continue down this page to the section titled "WINCHESTER-other misc.ADVERTISING", there should be something for everyone, over 100 items are listed.
During the past Summer I listed all of my (post WORLD WAR II) WINCHESTER avertising from my personal collection. Most of the Covers, Shotshell boxes and many of the 5 panel sets are gone, and all the WINCHESTER SHOTGUNS except for FIVE (5) NIB-new in the box, Model-1 SuperX shotguns.
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".
My other main interest has been collecting all works by Philip R. Goodwin. However I have sold one of my Original Oils and am in the process of listing all the Philip R. Goodwin print for sale in the next few weeks.
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!
