(LAST UPDATED-December 15, 2011)Working this week, adding more items! Finished posting Pictures of a EXTREMELY rare WINCHESTER DISPLAY MIRROR, a card of Winchester BASS FLYFISHING FLIES and some very rare 100 count Winchester Shotgun SHell boxes.

(November 19, 2011)-Just listed (3) AUTOKITS!-all are rare items! Also have sold about 50% of the Winchester ROLLER SKATE collection and both Winchester BASEBALL BAT BAGS and the only remaining Winchester FOOTBALL SHOULDER PADS!

(October 29, 2011)-almost finished with the WINCHESTER STORE 5-panels sets. Just posted (2) Winchester BASEBALL BAT BAGS, a very rare LOUISVILLE SLUGGER BAT RACK, a very rare Winchester VEOCYCLE or TRICYCLE, a rare WINCHESTER PAINT BROCHURE DISPLAY HOLDER and currently working on listing all my WINCHESTER STORE ROLLER SKATE items, including advertising-take a look, I will be complete by late Tuesday evening!

(October 6, 2011)-I am selling ALL my Winchester 5-panel sets of advertising (Large CARDBOARD Displays). These were used primarily in the Front Windows of the "WINCHESTER STORE". I have 97% of all the sets shown in the WINCHESTER "RARITIES" book, in fact most of those in the book are the very ones I am selling! I also have about (11) sets of panels, including some SINGLES PANELS that were not in the book.

I am also selling my personal collection of WOODEN FRAMES that were used to display these panels, (sorry the Steel Frames are sold-they went fast!). I have WOODEN frames that are totally original-no restoration or any changes at all, including a very rare one with "WINCHESTER" decal. I have other ALL ORIGINAL frames that have the legs shortened (a common practise back "in the day", to allow for different configurations in the display itself. In most cases only the legs are shorter, the rest, including the paint is untouched.

I have many (custom made pine frames-painted black) and (custom made OAK frames-clear finished). These are generally available as SINGLE PANELS, SETS OF (3) or complete sets of (5).

This is a very large project to (list all these items), I expect to be done in the next week or 10 days. Please Keep checking this space, I update almost daily! I know there are some questions, so please call or email.

Still planning on moving to Wichita (pending the sale of the house, so I am continuing to list many WINCHESTER and WINCHESTER STORE items-but this will take several months to complete, at the rate I take pictures and get them posted on the website. I have many duplicates, so I am going to list the rarer stuff first. As a example:

(a rare Winchester FOOTBALL, a Winchester Drill bit stand, a Winchester scooter skate, a Winchester tricycle, a STONE MINT 1936 Winchester Brochure holder, a baseball (in the box), Wooden Wagon, Floor Sweeper, very rare BASEBALL BATS, very rare BASEBALL BAT DISPLAY, very rare BARNEY & BERRY revoluing Flashlight display etc.) The really good stuff. I also have a entire collection of Winchester tools, cutlery, razors, razor straps and related items that I am selling. I have most of the rare, hard to find pieces that most collectors need to complete their own personal collection. I am willing to sell those items. I can't possibly list all of those, so contact via telephone 918-786-8500 or email tim@wavelinx.net and lets see if we can make a deal. I know that some of you have seen some sites and some autions will good stuff, but this really is the very BEST WINCHESTER Collectibles and most all of my items are in Exc. or better condition.

Also see several new Calendars and Posters from other Gun Companies and a (3) ITHACA Gun Catalogs, all by Lynn B. Hunt-including the very rare FOX/BLACK CROW catalog.

I am also in the process of listing/selling MY ENTIRE COLLECTION of P.R.Goodwin Wooden puzzles, most include their ORIGINAL BOXES! It will take a few days to complete this task! These will be listed on the "PHILIP R.GOODWIN" page only!

have listed for SALE, my entire collection of WINCHESTER LARGE DOVETAIL (Hand made) WOOD CRATES. I have no room for them. Some of the RAREST known crates are included!

have listed for SALE-all my FLOOR and COUNTER-TOP Display Cases (some small, some bigger) that will not fit in my new house/location.

-Also listing for sale, a very large supply of old Auction catalogs from Bob Strauss, Dixie/SOLDUSA, Wards, Langs etc. Also a very complete collection of WCA and WACA magazines, some of which are the oldest printed and in very limited supply. Also see a listing of Hunting and Collectibles magazines that are for sale!

I have sold 95% of my Winchester Gun Collection and now am concentrating only on those models with "STAINLESS STEEL" barrels. Please call or email with any for sale or trade!

-added 3 complete sets of Philip R. Goodwin Portfolio's/prints that are for sale.

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!

If you find some pictures that do not load, or any broken links or other mistakes, I can and will fix them, if you would notify me!

(a personal target to publish a-"DECIATED book on just "WINCHESTER STORE" material!)

Over the last several years I have contributed to several books and articles on "Winchester" non-gun items, particularly in regards to ShotShell Boxes, Tools, Advertising and other pieces from the pre-war era. I am now preparing a book of my own on the WINCHESTER HARDWARE ERA, generally from 1918 to 1932. This endeavor will be concentrating on the "THE WINCHESTER STORES" and will detail some of the information about how long each store item was produced, rare pictures and documentation. There are enough books on WINCHESTER for now, so I intend to gather material and refine the document over the next several years and then publish a quality piece! This work should be interesting and informative to all "Winchester" collectors, and I am actively seeking your help and assitance in locating, (and purchasing if required) those pieces that will make this book unique! Particularly interested in any and all advertising (of any type) and all papers, files etc. that concern this period and WRACo's (Winchester Repeating Arms Co.) relationships with its vendors, suppliers, stores, supply houses, etc.

T.I.M. especially wants these certain items for his WINCHESTER ADVERTISING COLLECTION!

WINCHESTER POSTERS!

Please go the the link at the top of the page titled "Tim's WANT LIST"

Items for SALE or TRADE fall under the following categories:

"Winchester CARTRIDGE BOARDS"-(from 1890's to 1937)

I would bet that 99% of most Winchester collectors haven't seen one of these, or know just exactly what it is. In 1922 The Wraco. factory sent out a Sales and Service bulletin that shows the plans for a individual WINCHESTER STORE to make a cartridge board themselves to display the typical shells sold in their trading area. I have two and here is the best one. The construction is much better, cleaner and its totally intact and best of all has a original letter pasted on the back! There are 4 rows of shells (the top 2 rows have 12 each and the bottom 2 rows have 14 each (total of 52) individually marked tags and shells. All shells are mounted to a nice board, covered with green felt. The individual shells are mounted with a single nail driven through the case casing and each tag is a original "WINCHESTER" (in red) that has the type of shell written neatly in black ink! This was very well done by the store itself (most of the stores had someone/craftsman who did their advertising panels and displays, so this would have been a task assigned to them. I just wonder why more of them haven't been discovered? The shells are all metallic, both RIMFIRE and CENTERFIRE and range from .22 to .405 and pistol cartridges. The OTHER outstanding part of this display is the LETTER that is glued to the back. It is a original STORE LETTERHEAD "L. SCHMIDT & SONS" -"Everything in HARDWARE-Grand Junction, Colorado". Someone then wrote in heavy blue caryon "Dummy Metallic Amunition-as per list mailed in with report" also "MAY 10-1922". Below written in lighter RED CRAYON "Sales Service-and a man's name A.Shuxxxd? (can't read the name clearly), the rest is very clear. Another possibility that has surfaced based on this letter, it that the WINCHESTER STORE in Grand Junction, Colo. sent a list back (of the cartridge they wanted on their board) to the Sales Service dept. of WRACo. and the factory make the board. Its very interesting-I just present the facts and you decide. A very, very rare piece regardless and minty. Photo's again shows the glare and lines from the srinkwrap, but this is in outstanding shape and a real conversation piece!$4500

(pfct)

This ca.1922 board is of the same type as the board listed directly above. Most probably made by the STORE itself, it differs slightly in its style, construction and condition. It is made on the same concept (all shells are mounted with a single braid through the center of the shell and the same type of small "WINCHESTER" ID tag is used. This board has 5 rows and the tags are attached to a board and the shells sit on top of that board. All 5 rows has spaces for 12 shells (total of 60) but 14 shells are missing. Interestingly this board has 3 WRACO FACTORY WINDOW SHELLS on the bottom row. The tags are not filled out and the green felt is on the back side/and mostly missing. I believe this shows again how each store would have differences in the shells that were SELLERS in their TRADE MARKET AREA and some did a much better construction job (or had WRACo. do it) These are the only two I have ever seen in 25 very active years of chasing WINCHESTER SHotgun shells and I think they add much to the history of the WINCHESTER STORES. Again the photo's show the glare and lines from the shippers srinkwrap.$1850

(ptoc)

Here is a very rare (ca.1892) SALSEMANS SAMPLE SHOTGUN sHELL Display for FACTORY LOADED SHELLS. This is a much smaller piece (12.75" long x 6.625" wide x 2.75"High) than its LARGER COUSINS. It is very rare and quite fragil. It shows the "STAR" brand of Shotgun SHells (which helps to date it) and the associated wads. The Winchester Repeating Arms Co. was just getting started in the production of FACTORY LOADED shells and this diplay must have been used to help promote and explain how the WINCHESTER FACTORY LOADED shell was constructed.

Additional pictures and text of this (exact board, I purchased this from Ron) can be found in Ron Stadt's book "Winchester Shotguns and SHotshells" Vol.11, Appendix "H"-p.274 and 275. Not for sale, as it is small enough to keep and just a great little item.

sold!

(tctt)

(ca. 1913)-Another smaller (9.25" wide x 16" long) WINCHESTER CARTRIDGE board that I am going to keep, but a neat item in itself. Based on the production dates of the CENTERFIRE CARTRIDGEs it is dated (ca.1913). Several of these are known, but still a great little item and very well done for its time. Also shown in Winchester "RARITIES" p.200. Not for

SALE!

(eect)

(ca.1934)-This final piece is very unique and quite special. Its a favorite of mine and I am going to keep it for now.

It folds up into compact carring size, which would have allowed the WINCHESTER SALES Rep. to easily take it with him on the Missionary sales trips. I first thought is might had been produced for use on Horseback (and it probably was to some extent), but I now believe it primary purpose was for use by the Rep. for Train Travel. Also shown in Winchester "RARITIES" p.201.

It has just outstanding MINT condition and Oil cans, the shells (particularily the .410 Window shell/in two lenghtes) are very rare and collectible. Perhaps (ca. 1930/34)-based on the Oil cans and .410 shells. But if it was that late why haven't more examples surfaced? Doomed by the Depression and the original WRACo. going out of business? Very intrgiuing??

Not for

SALE!

(nect)

(signed and dated-1984)-This is a TOTALLY mint and very rare WRACo. FACTORY made "MILITARY" Cartridge Board. It is very well constructed of the Highest quality Material. The outside measures 29.5 inches wide x 33.25 high. The frame is made of 3 inch stained OAK,and is protected by glass. The inside measures 23.5 wide x 17.5. It is signed on the back by the Factory Cartridge Board Craftsman and addressed to the original owner. I believe only a few (perhaps 5) of these boards were ever made, and this is the only one that has surfaced to date. I have shown several pictures, some of which have a glare from the glass or are out of focus, but I think you can tell that it is totally MINT board-no defects of any kind, any where. Several very neat TRACER shells and other unique cartridges are shown in their full original shape/condtion and then each shell has been very paintakingly cut in half for a very rare look "inside" these special shells! A great deal of care and fore thought went into the structure of this board and the results of that preparation are reflected in the Final Product! Is accompanied by a signed letter from the original owner. What a great and unique board with full documentation! $3,500

(rtpt)

In some HIGH-GRADE SPORTING COLLECTIONS, they might be a ONE-OF-A-KIND piece that is really special. I think this HAND TRAP is in that catagory and I will describe it as best I can and give you my thoughts. Way in yourselves-this piece must have a COLORFULL HISTORY. A old fashioned WINCHESTER HAND TRAP, (24 inches long x 8 inches wide), the design is different from anything I have experienced, but a old trap shooter might be able to date this thing more accurately. It is all ORIGINAL, the wood and metal are UNTOUCHED, not restored and it WORKS! On the wide part of the board it is heavily hand-stamped with individual letters-not done with a die. (First line "WINCHESTER")-(Second line "RAG.")-(Third line "-7-")-(Fourth line "U.S.N."). This has been in my personal collection since the late 80's and I have shown it to few collectors who have visited me. There seem to be two possibilites that make some sense to me. This is a United States NAVAL marked piece that dates ca.1910/1918 and was used on a destroyer for RECREATIONAL SHOOTING by the officers on deck, or was used as a TRAINING AID to teach MACHINE GUNNERS how to follow and LEAD a target. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I am open to ideas and would love to find some reference or picture of it.$475

The First time I have ever offered this very rare piece for sale! I think (ca.1907-1910). This is a Heavy MIRROR (14 1/2 inches wide X 10 inches high), mounted in a large OLD STYLE Gold Wood Frame. You can see the LARGE LETTERS are in Gold and so is the outline of the "W". The other letters are in Silver (which is hard to take a good photograph). The inset of the "W" is MOTHER of PEARL! This is the only one of these DISPLAYS that I have ever seen in 35 years of collecting. I do know of another that is on a mirror and the same size, but with all black print and the "W" is in red paint!

The very top line reads "WHEN BUYING". The print to the left of the "W" reads "look for the--TRADEMARK REG. The lines on the right of the "W" read "on the box--U.S.Pat. OFFICE". The last three lines read "Made only-by the-WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO.-NEW HAVEN, CONN."

One of the things that makes this very rare is the solgan "CHOICE of CHAMPS". I believe that phrase was only used one season. I have seen it before somewhere. The phrase "LOOK FOR the-W-on the BOX" was only used for a short period also.. Great care and thought went into this piece. I can only imagine that it was for some major EXHIBITION Display or for one of the two Winchester COMPANY STORES (either NYC or San Franciso). What a piece, it's got to have some neat history. I would be seeking any photographs or other material that show this Mirror, (perhaps in the background)? There is no restoration of any kind on this piece!

$4000

(tnct)

a very rare (ca.1887) Winchester LEAD Sign (I think its Lead, its very heavy, mounted on a old piece of thick Barn Board and then mounted in a nice frame-(it measures 24"W x 12"H). The lettering is professionaly craved into the lead and in the style used in the late 1880's. It displays the (then) new Model-1887 lever action shotgun. The text "WINCHESTER" is in the Straight letters of that era.

The detail on the 1887 gun itself is very fine. See the grain of the wood and it is indeed a rare gun. It is a very rare ENGRAVED RECIEVER (see Ron Stadt's book). I think done for the NEW YORK Company store (or perhaps a exhibition). This was expensive to make, and based on other WRACo. advertising campaigns this type of promotion was usually in the FIRST YEAR production of an new gun model. I think this was used to INTRODUCE the new MODEL 1887!

I know of possibly only one other that has been reported to me (I have not seen the other one). If you like the very best in WINCHESTER advertising or collect this fine gun, this would really compliment your collection! This is a MINT PIECE, shows no age, no wear of any kind and of course no RESTORATION!

$3750

(rctp)

A very, very Rare WINCHESTER Painted SHOOTING GALLERY TIN SIGN with FLANGE. Multiple photographs of both sides clearly show how remarkably well preserved this HISTORICAL sign is. It has been carefully kept by someone all these years (I have had it only the last 11 years). I never saw any of these signs (in use at a actual SHOOTING GALLERY), but I have seen photographs of them located at the top of a door frame that was going into a basement where the SHOOTING GALLERY was located. There are those of you out there who can pinpoint the actual date better than I, but I am told the is (1920's perhaps to early 1930's.) Note the printing is all "WINCHESTER" Worlds Standard, so it must be prior to the WESTERN CARTRIDGE/OLIN takeover!. Actually it doesn't show the red "W" (which makes it prior to 1907) or M.I.U.S.A (which means it would be at least prior to 1924). It measures (28" high and 18" wide) with 3 old, old bullet holes (two of them are dead center). A very rare piece dual collectible tin sign that appeals to many collectors in any WINCHESTER field or to general SIGN collectors themselves. I someone out there has better photo's or can date this more accurately I would appreciate hearing from you.$6000

(poht)

(Ad TOPPERWEIN)-a very rare WINCHESTER PAPER POSTER that will appeal to any Winchester or TOPPERWEIN collector-shows Mr. and Mrs. Ad Topperwein of San Antonio, Texas-"The worlds greatest wing and fancy shot with a rifle using WINCHESTER RIFLES, SHOTGUNS and CARTRIDGES" (ca.1908) this outstanding pieces has the couple in 11 different vingettes. Some of the titles are "Cutting two cards with ONE BULLET", "Backward Mirror shot with RIFLE", "Shooting Two Revolvers at Two Different Objects", "Drawing Pictures with Rifle Bullets/the famous Indian Chief Outline-his most famous" and 7 others. I can furnish more pictures or closeups if required. This exceptional piece is in MINT Condition and mounted on acid-free color matting and in a custom frame. What a piece!!, and most importantly it has no restoration of any kind! This piece was still wrapped in shippers srinkwrap when I took the pictures and those are the lines that you see!$4500

(fntt)

This is a Totally original and correct 1921 WINCHESTER STORE CALENDAR. This is the first of the NINE WINCHESTER STORE Calendars that were printed to order by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. for the individual WINCHESTER STORES (hardware). This Calendar is complete with all the months and has the original cover FLY SHEET.$1250

(edc)

Another of the famous WINCHESTER EXhibition Shooters/Marksman "CLAUDE PARMELLE". Possibly a little lesser known, but acutally a great shooter, I think ca.1938, but you could date more exactly, since he was introducing the NEW SILVERTIP BULLET. Mounted on white acid-free foam board and srink wrapped.$125

(trt)

The following Five ITEMS comprise my collection of famous WINCHESTER CHRSITMAS CARDS. THE first card (the painting itself is ca.1906), of a rare WINCHESTER CHRISTMAS CARD with the famous scene by Philip R.Goodwin, showing TRAPPER in snowshoes with his trusty M-95 facing a hungry pack of wolves coming straight at him! You can find this image in "RARITIES" p.42. This is mounted on white acid-free foam board and srinkwrapped, so you can access the inside easily! Sorry its out of focus, but the card it MINT (inside and out) and has no restoration!$450

(ted)

The second one is a (ca.1925)-a rare WINCHESTER CHRISTMAS CARD with that famous scene by FRANK STICK (also on the 1925 POSTER-see "RARITIES p.56 and the Book on FRANK STICK by Mike Mordell-p.78) Man on white Horse drawing his M-54 (not many examples of Winchester Advertising of the M-54) rifle from his scabbard as a LARGE GRIZZLEY approaches from behind! Before I put this in a custom matted wood frame, I took a copy of the inside printing. What you see in the photo's is that Chrismas message. I then tucked the xerox copy into paper flap on the back! I have seen only a handfull of these, I never found out just who these were mailed too-anybody out there know? This rare card shows some light dirt on the top and bottom edges, it has no restoration of any kind!$600

(nct)

The third card is a (ca.1927), the only other one I have seen by FRANK STICK. It is a very scarce and collectible WINCHESTER CHRISTMAS CARD by FRANK STICK showing a Hunter on snowshoes, who spots a large deer down the slope. He is taking his gloves off to get ready to use his WINCHESTER RIFLE (Model-94?). Very similar scene to the WINCHESTER 1927 Calendar (again see this image in "RARITIES and the Mike Mordell book). Again I made a xerox copy of the inside (it got stuck to glue used to cemet the backing envelope, so it tore the lower right corner) BUT THE CARD ITSELF IS UNDAMAGED. Again the card is STONE MINT (both inside and out) and has no restoration!$350

(tot)

This fourth CARD is (ca.1932), a really neat WINCHESTER CHRISTMAS CARD by Art Fuller. SHows the famous scene that was also used on other WINCHESTER advertising including a 3 wing CARDBOARD DISPLAY on p.90 of "RARITIES". SHows two hunters just coming over the hilltop, at early morning with their two favorite hunting dogs working just ahead! Again you can see the xerox copy of the inside printing! This card is STONE MINT, in total original condition with no restoration of any kind!$425

(rct)

This 5th CARD is (ca.1932), a really neat WINCHESTER CHRISTMAS CARD by a unknown artist. What makes this so unique is that the message inside is a different format and most importantly carries a personal handwritten note from EDWIN PUGSLEY himself. It is hard to collect WINCHESTER items signed by PUGSLEY, this is one of only three that I have in my collection. (SORRY for the out of Focus picture but the message is) "Dear Mr. Ulrich (? the famous Wraco. engraver)-I still am hopeful you can run down some Sunday. Cordially"-signed EDWIN PUGSLEY. This is STONE MINT, in total original condition with no restoration of any kind!$475

(rct)

THis is for the lover of HUNTING DOGS. Both of these great animals are posied, looking intently forward and show great intelligence and breeding. Titled "A CLASSIC COMBINATION" this is perhaps a ONE OF A KIND type of advertising, that is signed by the artist HERBLECT? and carries "Winchester Repeating Arms, New Haven, Conn." in the lower right corner. Must be from the early 1900's (ca.1904/05) based on the type of Lettering used. This image in not known in any REFERENCE BOOK, it is thought perhaps that it was poster developed by a advertising agency (for a ad campaign) but never accepted or used. Your Thoughts? MINT condition and a real attention getter in any collection.$2500

(rett)

This is being sold as three pieces-The right and left wing of LARGE FLOOR DISPLAY and a ad showing the middle piece, which I never managed to acquire. I do know of at least 2 that have been sold in the last 7/8 years. The (right wing/rtt) shows the RED and YELLOW Winchester shells and a goffy quail. THe (left wing/fct) shows the same RED and YELLOW shells (they represent the Leader and Repeater brands) and a goffy duck. The third piece is the ad that shows the complete set. It was painted by John Held, and I don't think his work really was what WRACo. wanted and I know of no other piece that carries his name. I am selling the wings for $750 each and the ad for $50. THE entire 3-wing FLOOR DISPLAY can be seen in "RARITIES" p.88 and the entire set is very difficult to put together (valued @$4500/5000), as I can attest!watch

EBAY

(pntp)

1921-a large cardboard DIECUT/POSTER of the WRACo. factory at that period. I have a Sales and Service Bulletin V1-#7 that shows this as it was being introduced to the WINCHESTER STORES at that time. Mounted in a custom frame with a plexiglass front, it is in MINT condition, no fading, no restoration of any kind. The photo's show the glare spots and lines from the shipper srinkwrap.$2500

(fhtt)

WACA (Winchester Antique Collectors Assocation) Model 1887 bronze-made in 1987, it is perhaps the only bronze that I know of that specifically features the M-87 LEVER ACTION shotgun. Titled "Gentleman's Sport" and so listed on the brass plaque and also signed by the artist-(sorry I couldn't get a good clear picture. All three of these WACA bronzes are done by the Mr. Cody Houston, a noted sculptor from Great Falls, Montana. On the bronze itself it is marked: copyright, numbered (#22/40), dated (1987) and signed "Cody Houston". It is also marked "WACA" on the bronze/base and the entire piece sits on a nicely OIL finished WALNUT base. A terrific peice and in MINT CONDITION-very limited production/on 40. (note it appears that the barrel is bent, but this is a result of the photo.reduced-$625

(ndc)

WACA (Winchester Antique Collectors Assocation) MODEL 1912 bronze-made in 1997. A truly great piece that is a classic HUNTING SCENE, as it includes the great Model 12, ducks, duck calls and a trusty hunting dog. This bronze was also done by Mr. Cody Houston, a noted sculptor from Great Falls, Montana. Titled "BLIND DATE AND A MODEL 12" (on the brass plate and signed) again, sorry I couldn't get a good clear picture. The bronze is marked on the bronze base "copyrighted, numbered (#3/55), dated (1887) and signed "Cody Houston". The Bronze sits on a nicely oiled WALNUT base. ALso marked "WACA" in the front of the bronze-the artist has captured a perfectly preportioned, full correct M-12 in rich detail-note very low early production number-#3. In perfect condition, this is really a prized piece.reduced-$650

(cnc)

WACA (Winchester Antique Collectors Assocation) Model 1987 "TRENCH GUN"-made in 1987. Military bronzes are much harder to find than the more normal SPORTING scenes, especially with regards to Winchester. THis well thought out presentation is titled "OVER THE TOP" and this is so stated on the small brass plate/signed on the plate also-(again I couldn't get a good, clear picture). This bronze was done by Mr. Cody Houston, a noted sculptor from Great Falls, Montana. The bronze is marked "copyright, numbered (#13/45), dated (1989) and signed "Cody Houston" in the base of the bronze. IN addition it is marked "WACA" on the bronze base and sits on a nicely finished oil stailed WALNUT base. I have a original WACA Information Brochure that was with this piece when it was introduced. I collected M-97's of all types, including the Winchester 1897 TRENCH GUN and this was the only Winchester ADVERTISING piece that I ever found to go with my collection of guns. (Note the bronze-it is very complete, it has sand bags, backpack, helmet and all the other gear that the GI'S were equipped with.

In 1986 Winchester started a program to make 400 copies of series of Statues they called the "UNENDANGERED SPICIES". The first animal made for public sale was the WHITETAIL DEER, other animals were to follow in a series. But they stopped production with the deer and I belive before they achieved their inital goal of 400. Mine, which I bought direct for the plant, is marked on the side plate-("Unendangered Species-THE WHITETAIL DEER-The Winchester Collection"). On ground underneath the left side of the deer, right next to the tree stump the following is stamped-"copyright, name of the artist ("Let Braddock")-WINCHESTER-and the date (1986). At the front of the base it is marked "287" (its serial number) and the famous Winchester PROOFMARK ("P" superimposed over the "W" all in a Oval). I suspect there wasn't the projected sales/demand and the project was terminated early. Actually these must be fairly scarce, as I have NEVER encountered another in following 24+years. Look at the pictures closely, the LEFT ANTLER is broken off (cleanly) and is taped to the back of the deer. This is hard to see in the pictures (because of the glare) but it can be repaired. A nicely done piece, but apparantly a Marketing failure. Bet you don't have one of these!!! Selling at my cost from 24 years ago.$350

In 1974-WINCHESTER had a advertising campaign to remember two of their CLASSIC advertising pieces from 1890 and 1910. Most Winchester collector have seen the TIN 1890 reproduction Cartridge board piece (it goes for around $15/20 and is a good reference piece if you want to know what the 1890 looks like). The campaign also featured a (16" x 22") reprint of the 1910 WINCHESTER POSTER by N.C.Wyeth. What I am selling is the hard to find ORIGINAL CARDBOARD/Easel back Countertop display (showing the entire promotion, including the rarely found coupon book-price $125/tet). I am also selling the 1910 reproduction advertising POSTER-for $275/fct). Would prefer to sell together-combined price=$400. Very hard to find as a set!$400

Ca.1936-a STONE MINT Winchester Brochure display in all its ORIGINAL colors-no restoration of any kind on this very scarce model. What a great way to show off your collection of WINCHESTER papers/brochers etc. I have had 3 in my lifetime of collecting and this is by FAR THE BEST CONDITIONED one I have ever seen. NOT shown in any SPORTING COLLECTIBLE book, and to the best of my knowledge this does not appear in any WINCHESTER CATALOG.

The WRACo. company was sold in 1930/31 to the Western Cartridge Co.(John Olin) and the WINCHESTER STORES creased to exist. All production of the many TOOLS, FISHING, SPORTS and other non-gun items were stopped except those listed on this display-"FLASHLIGHTS", "BATTERIES", ROLLER SKATES" and "POCKET CUTLERY" (pocket knives, no Flatware). The company continued to use the WINCHESTER name until 1938. They eliminated all remaining "POCKET CUTLERY" productiion as the company geared up for WW11 production (late 1939). So we know for sure this display was pre-1938/39 and most likely from the same advertising campaign that produced the familiar GLASS signs that say "CUTLERY-1936". This has a great deep BLUE paint that really doesn't show up in the pictures (the 3rd picture does the best color). The Flash from the camera just washed out the BLUE, you must see to believe! I would believe that this had very limited production, and for only one year. This is guarenteed TOTALLY ORIGINAL and correct with NO RESTORATION! The condition is just unbelievable!--

"PETERS Cartridge Company"-(illustrations by Philip R. Goodwin)

(ca.1911) this is perhaps one of Philip R. Goodwin's most notable illustrations. Used in many Peters Cartridge Co.'s venue's (Poster-booklet etc.) This classic scene of the Mother Sow working downslope with her two clubs appeals to many collectors. It fits into most any Gun or Advertising Collection and has always carried a PREMIUM price. Shown in Larry Len Peterson's book-"America's Sporting & Wildlife Artist" on pp.143 and Bob Strauss's book Vol.#1-PC-35, this has long been a favorite of all. Out of my personal collection, the colors are very strong, has both bands, no edge wear. A few minor creases, but nothing significant. This scene is very hard to find in any resonable or acceptable condition, so a good one is a Keeper! Absolutely in total original condition, no stains, fading, tape etc. I bet this is the first one of the 4 in this set to sell!$5750

(1929) This is the only WINCHESTER-SIMMONS Co. Calendar that I have ever seen or know of. It was put out by the REGIONAL "WINCHESTER-SIMMONS Warehouse" in Minneapolis, Minn. It features a old 5 MAST trading ship (its huge and its being towed by another ship). They are selling their BRAND of ("COLUMBIAN") Manila rope & Commercial Twine. I can only imagine that this was a very limited production, because no one has seen other scenes from ANY another Warehouse. It is very nicely done and signed by the artist CHARLES ROBERT PATERSON. It is in MINT condition with full pad and cover. THe bottom pictures shows The CORDAGE CITY", Auburn, N.Y.. A very ususal piece of Winchester and Simmons advertising.

Ca.1936-a STONE MINT Winchester Brochure display in all its ORIGINAL colors-no restoration of any kind on this very scarce model. What a great way to show off your collection of WINCHESTER papers/brochers etc. I have had 3 in my lifetime of collecting and this is by FAR THE BEST CONDITIONED one I have ever seen. NOT shown in any SPORTING COLLECTIBLE book, and to the best of my knowledge this does not appear in any WINCHESTER CATALOG.

The WRACo. company was sold in 1930/31 to the Western Cartridge Co.(John Olin) and the WINCHESTER STORES creased to exist. All production of the many TOOLS, FISHING, SPORTS and other non-gun items were stopped except those listed on this display-"FLASHLIGHTS", "BATTERIES", ROLLER SKATES" and "POCKET CUTLERY" (pocket knives, no Flatware). The company continued to use the WINCHESTER name until 1938. They eliminated all remaining "POCKET CUTLERY" productiion as the company geared up for WW11 production (late 1939). So we know for sure this display was pre-1938/39 and most likely from the same advertising campaign that produced the familiar GLASS signs that say "CUTLERY-1936". This has a great deep BLUE paint that really doesn't show up in the pictures (the 3rd picture does the best color). The Flash from the camera just washed out the BLUE, you must see to believe! I would believe that this had very limited production, and for only one year. This is guarenteed TOTALLY ORIGINAL and correct with NO RESTORATION! The condition is just unbelievable!--

$1250-(rfc)

(ca.1921) a very rare (I know of only 3) titled "COMRADES-National Father and Son week-Feb.11-17). Uses the same scene as featured on the famous 1918 Winchester calendar, the father has Model 12 (12 gauge perhaps) and it looks like his son is learning to shot his Model 12 (20 gauge). A very engaging scene, a real classic! This piece is all original, no fading, and most importantly no restoration of any kind. I has no BANDS, this i totally correct, has the corrct 1/4" white margin on all 4 sides. It had very limited production (remember there were very few stores in 1921). This was meant to be taped to a wall or on the inside of the large show window out front. Hence with limited production and the fact that most were destroyed when they were taken down, this is a extemely rare item. Tommy Webster had two (I bought this from him) and I know of one other. There may be more but believe this is very, very scarce. Mounted on white acid-free foam board and srinkwrapped.$4500

(phtt)

I would bet that 99% of most Winchester collectors haven't seen one of these, or know just exactly what it is. In 1922 The Wraco. factory sent out a Sales and Service bulletin that shows the plans for a individual WINCHESTER STORE to make a cartridge board themselves to display the typical shells sold in their trading area. I have two and here is the best one. The construction is much better, cleaner and its totally intact and best of all has a original letter pasted on the back! There are 4 rows of shells (the top 2 rows have 12 each and the bottom 2 rows have 14 each (total of 52) individually marked tags and shells. All shells are mounted to a nice board, covered with green felt. The individual shells are mounted with a single nail driven through the case casing and each tag is a original "WINCHESTER" (in red) that has the type of shell written neatly in black ink! This was very well done by the store itself (most of the stores had someone/craftsman who did their advertising panels and displays, so this would have been a task assigned to them. I just wonder why more of them haven't been discovered? The shells are all metallic, both RIMFIRE and CENTERFIRE and range from .22 to .405 and pistol cartridges. The OTHER outstanding part of this display is the LETTER that is glued to the back. It is a original STORE LETTERHEAD "L. SCHMIDT & SONS" -"Everything in HARDWARE-Grand Junction, Colorado". Someone then wrote in heavy blue caryon "Dummy Metallic Amunition-as per list mailed in with report" also "MAY 10-1922". Below written in lighter RED CRAYON "Sales Service-and a man's name A.Shuxxxd? (can't read the name clearly), the rest is very clear. Another possibility that has surfaced based on this letter, it that the WINCHESTER STORE in Grand Junction, Colo. sent a list back (of the cartridge they wanted on their board) to the Sales Service dept. of WRACo. and the factory make the board. Its very interesting-I just present the facts and you decide. A very, very rare piece regardless and minty. Photo's again shows the glare and lines from the srinkwrap, but this is in outstanding shape and a real conversation piece!$4500

(pfct)

This ca.1922 board is of the same type as the board listed directly above. Most probably made by the STORE itself, it differs slightly in its style, construction and condition. It is made on the same concept (all shells are mounted with a single braid through the center of the shell and the same type of small "WINCHESTER" ID tag is used. This board has 5 rows and the tags are attached to a board and the shells sit on top of that board. All 5 rows has spaces for 12 shells (total of 60) but 14 shells are missing. Interestingly this board has 3 WRACO FACTORY WINDOW SHELLS on the bottom row. The tags are not filled out and the green felt is on the back side/and mostly missing. I believe this shows again how each store would have differences in the shells that were SELLERS in their TRADE MARKET AREA and some did a much better construction job (or had WRACo. do it) These are the only two I have ever seen in 25 very active years of chasing WINCHESTER SHotgun shells and I think they add much to the history of the WINCHESTER STORES. Again the photo's show the glare and lines from the shippers srinkwrap.$1850

The WRACo. company was sold in 1930/31 to the Western Cartridge Co.(John Olin) and the WINCHESTER STORES creased to exist. All production of the many TOOLS, FISHING, SPORTS and other non-gun items were stopped except those listed on this display-"FLASHLIGHTS", "BATTERIES", ROLLER SKATES" and "POCKET CUTLERY" (pocket knives, no Flatware). The company continued to use the WINCHESTER name until 1938. They eliminated all remaining "POCKET CUTLERY" productiion as the company geared up for WW11 production (late 1939). So we know for sure this display was pre-1938/39 and most likely from the same advertising campaign that produced the familiar GLASS signs that say "CUTLERY-1936". This has a great deep BLUE paint that really doesn't show up in the pictures (the 3rd picture does the best color). The Flash from the camera just washed out the BLUE, you must see to believe! I would believe that this had very limited production, and for only one year. This is guarenteed TOTALLY ORIGINAL and correct with NO RESTORATION! The condition is just unbelievable! Pictures pending!$1250

(ca.late 1920's) Most Winchester Store collectors have or have seen a wooden WINCHESTER STORE Yardstick or perhaps even a foot long ruler. But the really rare YARDSTICK in this grouping is this 4 sided Wooden YARDSTICK that doubles as a WALKING STICK or CANE.

Side#1- has the store name "HARRY CROWE, HDW. and ELEC. WORKS, Phone 90. THE WINCHESTER STORE".

Side#2 states-"We Represent Fairbanks-Morse, DeLaval, John Deere, Fresno Agri. Works, Kelvinator, Maytag, Glidden, World Standard Goods".

Side#3 states,"WE KNOW THE PUMPING PLANT BUSINESS"

In quite excellent condition, it doesn't show any use as a WALKING STICK. I have seen two in my collecting years (and I bought them both-this is my duplicate). I would think this was some kind of SPECIAL ORDER stick and was only offered by one (wealthy) store.

The "WINCHESTER TRADER" (1927)-please note the story above. This is the second or alternative version of this display. Remember a full WINCHESTER STORE (which handled the complete line of Winchester Store products-in 1927-tools-appliance and Guns), they got the display discussed above. But many stores did not carry the full line (remember this was expensive stuff in the late 1920's), if they handled only certain products they were qualified for a CARDBOARD DISPLAY of those products only. Hence you see this diecut CARDBOARD piece that shows CUTLERY and TOOLS (one of the 6 available). I never was able to find all 6 of these in my entire time of collecting WINCHESTER STORE items. This piece is MINT, no restoration. Just try of get them all, it is indeed a quest. sold

A really rare pair of calendars, I have never seen these before. The first Calendar is a 1930 "W.A.Sanders & Bro.-Hardware and Implements-Jackson, MO." What makes this totally unquie it that it is both a WINCHESTER STORE and KK (Keen Kutter) store. Has the famous solgon "The Recollection of Quality remains long after the Price is forgotten" (from the founder E.C.Simmons). The calendar features a very nice scene of Hunter in the field, resting on a stump with his 3 hunting dogs and his ever present pipe! The calendar is MINT with its original cover, full pad-just brilliant colors-absolutly no restoration of any kind. It is custom frame with the other calendar and I will consider seperating them but really think they belong together. This is a very late date for a WINCHESTER STORE calendar (I only have 3 in my collection). It shows the glares and lines from the shipper srinkwrap.$1500

(tctt)

This 1930 KK calendar shows the same hunting scene (hunter with 3 dogs and his pipe), the store is "DUDY Hdw.-Dudy's for real Hdw.-Hardware and Implemets-Norway, Michigan" It also is MINT with its original cover, full pad and brilliant color and no restoration of any kind. Prefer to sell these together! These are STONE MINT and no restoration.$1000

(ca.1927/28) This is a (very late) and scarce piece of WINCHESTER-SIMMONS diecut Cardboard advertising which shows pictures of their 10 REGIONAL WAREHOUSES and the WRACo. Factory plant in New Haven, Conn. The board shows vingetts of Winchester advertising (since the CHAIN THEME is used, I think this is 1928-it is consistent with other pieces of that year. In the upper RIGHT HAND CORNER it says-WINCHESTER-Guns and Ammunition-Cutlery, Radio Batteries-Vacuum Bottles, Food Choppers-Boys Wagon, Electric Irons. In the LEFT HAND CORNER is says TOOLS-Flashlights-Fishing Tackle, Lawn Mowers-Athletic Goods, Wheel Barrows-Skates, Farm & Garden Tools.

Only a very few of these have been found, so I am not sure if these were sent to every WINCHESTER STORE (at this time they were very frank about having 6300 NATIONWIDE STORES). So perhaps this carried a additional charge/ or option and not many were ordered. A very unique piece, has small damage spot in upper left hand corner, other wise complete! This is mounted in a nice wood frame and behind PLEXIGLASS and the pictures are just awful. Will try to get some better ones! A very collectible peice!

(ca.1929) A Heavy Metal Rectangle sign with a internal blub-which works. The lighted display says "WINCHESTER-TOOLS" I do believe this came from WRACo. because it shows on the back"Produced by OHIO ADVERTISING DISPLAY-Cinn. Ohio" and it has a decal saying the same thing. (27W x 5H x 4D). I have only seen one other like this and it said "WINCHESTER-GUNS and AMMUNITION" and I have just sold it. Very rare and I believe very late in the WINCHESTER STORE era.$600

This is a genuine LAPEL/NAME TAG with a pin/clasp on the back. From a "WINCHESTER STORE" convention (ca.1921/25). "J.M. caplinger-Greensburg, Kan.$80

This is one of my favorite photo's of a WINCHESTER STORE display. It features a full and complete 5 panel BASEBALL display, in its original wooden frame. It also contains as much WINCHESTER BASEBALL gear that I have ever seen in one location. This must have been a fairly UPSCALE store to stock all that. I used this as a model and tried to collect everything in the photo. I will try to replace these photo's, they actually are crystal clear. My bad!$260

(ftt)

(ca.Sept./1923)-This is one busy WINCHESTER STORE Window display, it really contains a lot good stuff. I know that the Gilbert, Arizona store made this display after Septemter because the two end panels (that show the M92 and M95) where not sent to the store until that month. FYI-THESE END PANELS, from a 5-PANEL SET, are not in the Wichester "RARITIES" book, but I have a COMPLETE SET for sale-listed below). If you look beyond the Fine MOUNTS, the guns and ammo, you can spot some other partial Winchester advertising pieces including a WJRC piece.$450

(ftt)

(ca.1929)-this is a very late picture of the WINCHESTER STORE in "MEADE, KS.". Meade is located on Hwy-54, just south of Dodge City, Ks. I bought this in that local area and it was a favorite of mine for two reasons. First it is very typical of the Hardware Stores of that era (Long and narrow, only one center lane for the customers). It was very similar to my Grandfather's store in Manchester, Okla. Secondly it was the ONLY photograph that I ever owned that showed the large "THE WINCHESTER STORE" sign, hanging from the ceiling at the rear of the store. This is a rare, rare sign and it feached big money at the auction. For some reason I couldn't get the camera to focus on this piece, but it is MINTY.$375

"The WINCHESTER STORE" 5-panel sets (for sale!)

(October 11, 2011)-I have decided to sell my complete LIFETIME (35 years) collection of WINCHESTER STORE 5-panel sets! This includes all my complete sets, partial sets, single panels and all WOODEN DISPLAY FRAMES! You can see most of these in the Winchester "RARITIES" book, I have about 97% of all those in the book, plus about (13) additional sets that are unpublished! Most are in MINT CONDITION with great colors and some are very rare, considering how fragile they are. Even with carefully handling they get the edges tattered and ripped and then destroyed! That's why those you see at the GUN SHOWS, FLEA MARKETS, etc. are always beat up, taped or almost never with all 5 panels together!

I have listed the Winchester Store 5-panel sets and any items that are for sale in the following order.

Non-published sets--Hunting/Gun related--Trap Shooting--Boy Scout, Thanksgiving, Christmas--WJRC-Jr.Trapshooting--Fishing Tackle--Oil, Grease, Rust Remover etc.--Paint and Varnish--Football--Basketball--Hockey, Ice SKates--Boxing--Golf--other SPORTS--Wagons--Scooter and Roller Skates--Vecocyle (tricycle)--Skies, Dumb bells, etc.--Brace & Bits--Padlocks--Screwdriver & Chisels--Saws--Wrenchs--Hammer and Hatchets--Vacuum Bottles--HouseHold Appliances--Cutlery & Pocket Knives--Razor and other Tiolet--Steel Goods--Cartoons/Comedy--Flashlights and Batteries--Wooden Display Frames--Covers/Envelopes.

(Note-I have listed most of the 5-panel sets in at least two different locations. Since most 5-panel sets advertise at least two or more different WINCHESTER STORE products (i.e. GUNS on one side and FLASHLIGHTS on the other side) I listed them in both categories. If there are any questions please call or email.

Just scrool down this page and these items will be there in that order.

1920-(Winchester 5-panel sets started March, 4, 1920-all were one-sided!

1923-(this year only, most 5-panels displayed a "Giant" center piece, that covers the center 3 panels!

1924-Only a very few new sets were produced!

1925-no known 5-panels set produced this year!

1926-5-panels set now produced only on a monthly basis!

1927-no known 5-panel sets produced this year!

1928-all 5-panel sets now have a CARTOON theme!

1929-WRACo. and "THE WINCHESTER STORES" stopped 5-panel set in April, 1929!

UNPUBLISHED "WINCHESTER STORE-5-PANEL SETS"-(for sale!)

I have for sale (13)-Thirteen, 5-panel WINCHESTER STORE sets (or partial sets) that are not shown in the Winchester "RARITIES" book. When working with Tommy and the Krause Co. editor, it was decided not to publish any 5-panel set, if between us we only had a partial number. It also got to be a limiting factor in the absolute number of pages that we had to work with! ANYWAY, I now have these complete sets and some SINGLE PANELS that are unpublished!. These DO NOT appear in any other SPORTING COLLECTIBLES BOOK!

(August 17-24, 1922)-This a SINGLE panel from a Winchester 5-panel set. It is the ONLY PANEL I have from this set. This set was NOT PUBLISHED in the Winchester "RARITIES" book, any other SPORTING COLLECTIBLES book.

(side-#1)-Titled "GUN and AMMUNITION"-a single PANEL showing the Winchester MODEL-06 and the three different .22 (rimfire) cartridges that it fired! The entire set of (5) different .22 rifles is extremely hard to collect as they are hard to find in any condition and if are found they go into Collections and DO NOT get sold again. (The other panels are MODEL-90, MODEL-02, MODEL-04 and MODEL-03. I would be interested in purchasing any or all of these panels!

(side-#2)-Titled "POCKET KNIVES DISPLAY"-shows (8) different PARING KNIVES and (4) STAINLESS STEEL KNIVES. The other 4 panels are-POCKET KNIVES, SICCORS, KITCHEN KNIVES and the center panel has a LARGE PARING KNIVE "for Canning Season". I would be a puchaser of any of all of these panels! The condition of this SINGLE PANEL is MINT, no restoration of any kind, no fading, no tears, no stains, perfect top, bottom and edges (which is very unusual to find)! If Tommy didn't have it, you know it was rare! This is the only panel from this set of (5) that I have, and at (age 70) it doesn't look like I will be able to comlete this set. I think I have every set except for (3) which includes this one. A must of any good .22 rifle collector. This is fully protected between two clear sheets of Plexiglass and then taped on each edge (the tape on the edges causes the distoration that the picture shows). This PANEL is MINT-no restoration of any kind, no tears, no fading, no tape etc. It's rare and not in any SPORTING COLLECTIBLES book!

(ca.November-December, 1922)-This is a complete WINCHESTER STORE 5-panel set. A very RARE and fascinating piece of Winchester advertising. The Winchester "RARITIES" book (on p.102) shows a similar, but different Big Game scene. Winchester produced over (50) different 5-panel sets for use in the WINCHESTER STORES, but only two featured BIG GAME and both use large GRIZZLY BEARS as the subject-(never a ELK or DEER!)! This is a BIG GAME SCENE that is entirely different from the one listed in Winchester "RARITIES" book-p.102, and it is the only complete set known. The pictures weren't available at the time of the publication of the "RARITIES" book.

(side-#1)-Titled "BIG GAME DISPLAY". it features a very large GRIZZLY, who is standing up and looking very LARGE as he faces the HUNTER who is in position to save himself with his WINCHESTER MODEL-95.

(side-#2)-Titled "ICE SKATING DISPLAY" shows several ICE SKATERS on a frozen pond. This set of panels is currently mounted on a white acid-free foam board and srinkwrapped. I have pictures of this side before I mounted it and it's condition is the same as the BEAR side. I can ship this to you on the foam board or remove the srinkwrap and just ship the panels. All the panels are in MINTY conditon, no restoration, and are very bright, no fading, no tape etc. THis is extemely rare set, but its for sale!

(ca.November-December, 1922)-SELLING the First 3 panels (panel#1, #2, #3) of this WINCHESTER STORE 5-panel set. A very RARE and fascinating piece of Winchester advertising. The Winchester "RARITIES" book (on p.102) shows a similar, but different Big Game scene. Winchester produced over (50) different 5-panel sets for use in the WINCHESTER STORES, but only two featured BIG GAME and both use large GRIZZLY BEARS as the subject-(never a ELK or DEER!)! This is a BIG GAME SCENE that is entirely different from the one listed in Winchester "RARITIES" book-p.102. The pictures weren't available at the time of the publication of the "RARITIES" book.

(side-#1)-Titled "BIG GAME DISPLAY". THE FIRST 3 PANELS show a very large GRIZZLY, who is standing up and looking very LARGE as he faces the HUNTER who is in position to save himself with his WINCHESTER MODEL-95. See the pictures on the complete panel that is listed just before this one. YOu only miss a very small portion of the BEAR (his back) and the END PANEL!

(side-#2)-Titled "ICE SKATING DISPLAY" shows several ICE SKATERS on a frozen pond. These (3) panels are displayed between two sheets of PLEXIGLASS. I can ship this to you as it is (between two sheets of PLEXIGLASS) or remove the srinkwrap and just ship the panels. All the panels are in MINTY conditon, no restoration, and are very bright, no fading, no tape etc. THis is extemely rare set, but its for sale, and for 30% of a FULL SET!

(August 3-9, 1922)-This is a complete Winchester 5-panel set and it is NOT in the Winchester "RARITIES" book, it is very rare, especially in its complete format!

(side-#1)-Titled "HIGH POWER RIFLE DISPLAY"-each of these 5 panels is terrific in its OWN right. Each panel (on both sides) has the famous red "WINCHESTER" in STAGGERED SCRIPT letters.

(#1/end panel-Crystal Cleaner-Rust Remover-Gun Grease),

(#2-.22 RIFLES-shows 7 different .22 models),

(#3-MODEL-94/cutaway of M-94 with action OPEN and with it CLOSED-a killer piece!),

(#4-HIGH POWER RIFLES-has 4 high power rifles & 4 shotguns),

(#5-GUN OIL & UTILITY OIL). These panels are used individually in collections, so there are very few COMPLETE SETS still around.

(side-#2)-Titled "CARVING SET DISPLAY"-each panel is a individual display of Winchester CARVING SETS or KITCHEN SETS. This side is nice, but the VALUE is all in the GUN and OIL panels. I only know of (3) complete sets, and its even been a long time since a single panel has shown up! These are in excellent condition and have no restoration of any kind. (note) any big advertisng for M-92 or M-94 is very hard to get, this display has both and a Model-20!

(CHRISTMAS-December 26, 1922-January 4, 1923)-This WINCHESTER STORE WJRC 5-panel set is NOT in the Winchester "RARITIES" book. I have 4 of the 5 panels.

(side-#1)-Titled "WJRC DISPLAY"-shows a WJRC team of (2) boys shooting in the SITTING POSTION and (2) in the PRONE POSTION). They are in a INDOOR TARGET range that looks to be part of GYM setting! The end panels are crossed Winchester .22 rifles (Model-04 & Model-02) & (Model-90 + Model-06). Still looking for that missing panel or will sell the (4).

(side-#2)-Titled "CHRISTMAS GIFT DISPLAY"-has a green Christmas wearth on the top and Bottom edges and the center panel has a BIG CHRISTMAS GREETING wreath that has "THE WINCHESTER STORE" in big letters. THe other panels shows Christmas gift ideas, (Fishing Rods, Fl., Cutlery set/roll, Ice skates, AUTO KIT and many more including a neat Model 12 shotgun with a 25 round box of shotgun shells and a Model 1890 with its shells. I have seen the center panel being saved as a center piece for a WINCHESTER STORE collection, and the end panels can be had, but the complete set is tough! A rare, rare set!

(Christmas-1922)-Another unpublished Winchester 5-panel set that (this is complete). This is NOT in the Winchester "RARIIES" book, I purchased this just after the book went to Press.

(side-#1)-Titled "CHRISTMAS DISPLAY"- shows a GIANT (3) center panel scene of a BIG RED SANTA and bag over-filled with Winchester gifts. It is indeed the most charming and sentimental of all the Winchester (5) panels and is a top "10" for sure. In the bag I see a very rare SCOOTER, M-90, Hockey Stick, Pocket Knife, Boxing Gloves, Plane, Basketball, two GOLD Scissors, full box of bits, a razor strop and a rare KITCHEN KNIVE SET.The only problem is this is so rare that only a few of the really dedicated Winchester advertising collectors know of its existence. The end panels are sometimes seen, they each show a long list of WINCHESTER STORE gift ideas, including some WJRC (Wincheser Junior Rifle Corp) items. I have only seen two complete sets of these and bought the only one I ever had a chance to purchase (it was from a private buyer and took 8 years to do the "DEAL".

(Side-#2)-Titled "ICE SKATE DISPLAY-shows a neat Winchester ICE SKATES on each panel, In MINTY condition. I am selling all my 5-panels, so here goes a rare one, that is not published in any SPORTING COLLECTIBLE book. Very, Very rare!

(June 21-28, 1923)-This WJRC 5 panel set is NOT in the Winchester "RARITIES" book. Neither Tommy or I had a full set of all 5 panels for this rare, rare set! This is probably the single most difficult WJRC set to find complete. I have the first 3 panels (#1, #2, #3) and still looking for/I would BUY! (#4 & #5)!

(side-#1)-Titled ".22 CALIBER GUN & AMMO DISPLAY"-shows a very colorfull scene with two BOY SCOUTS in RED canoe approaching their camp. Underneath the scene are pictures of WINCHESTER STORE products!

(panel-#1)-".22 CALIBER RIFLES"-Model 02 single shot rifle, Model 04 single shot rifle and Model 52 Bolt action rifle" and their corresponding boxes of shells ".22 Precision", ".22 Extra Long" and ".22 Short")

(panel-#2)-"FISHING TACKLE"-shows 5 flies, #2336 and #1630 reels, some #8164 Fishing line, a #8340 Steel BAIT CASTING ROD and a #6095 BAMBOO FLY ROD.)

(panel-#3)-has #4950 Scout Patten pocket knife, a #2608 Stabber Pattern , $9461 Stock Pattern pocket knife, a #5601 SCOUT AXE and SCOUT SHEALTH, and finally 6 different FLASHLIGHTS including a VEST POCKTER model).

(panel-#4-which is missing)-shows the CAMP on the shore and beneath that (#4-".22 CALIBER RIFLES"/3 of them and ammo).

(panel-#5-which is missing)-shows the woods behind the camp and (#5-"BASEBALL SUPPLIES" + Mitts, Bats and Catchers Mask.) I would be a buyer of either of these individual panels.

(side-#2)-Titled "Mechanics TOOL DISPLAY", shows great individual TOOL SCENES, the top half with a Man in a WORK SCENE, and the bottom showing TOOLS.

(panel-#1)-"SCREWDRIVERS"-AUTO KIT, #2124 and #2126 Screwdriver, Breast DRILL/rarely advertised, #2865 OFFSET Screwdrive/rarely advertised).

(panel-#2)-"WRENCHES"-#1119-#1514-#1728-#1619-#1817- #1222, a #1032 Steel handle pipe wrench and a #1012 COE'S Monkey wrench/very seldom ever advertised.

(panel-#3)-"PLIERS"-shows the following models-#2214, 2234, 2184, 2116, 2124, 2498, 2168, 2488 and #218! The top half show a different CONSTRUCTION or AUTO scene. Different tools are shown on the bottom half of each panel. Each panel and/on each side the top of the panel there is that very desirable red "WINCHESTER" in STAGGERED SCRIPT LETTERS. I would love to hear from you if you have this set or its parts, I know of only one complete set! This is one of my BEST CONDITIONED sets, even the edges are all firm and intact. The colors are brillant and it has no restoration of any kind, no fading, no spots, no tape, no nothin!

(July 26-August 1, 1923)-This is a complete WINCHESTER STORE 5-panel set! It is very rare, it does NOT APPEAR IN THE WINCHESTER "RARITIES" book!

(side-#1)-Titled "HIGH POWER RIFLE DISPLAY"-shows a GIANT Cutaway of the MODEL-94 and the (3) calibers it was chamered for-(.30 Winchester Soft Point, .32 Winchester Soft Point, and .38-55 HIGH POWER Soft Point). This Cutaway covers the entire center 3 panels. One END PANEL panel shows a Model-92 and it's shells (.25-20 Winchester Soft Point, .32 Winchester Soft Point, .38 Winchester Soft Point and .44 Winchester Soft Point). The other END PANEL is very special, it shows the Model-95 with its (3) respective 4 caliber shells-(.405 Wichester Soft Point, .35 Winchester Soft Point and .30 Government 1906 Soft Point.

There are only a very few M-92 or M-95 Gun Advertising pieces ever produced, especially in this large format and they just doesn't come to market. Because the end panels themselves look so great (individually), in any GUN or Advertising collection, this further drives up the cost and availabity of this COMPLETE SET. In addition these are most sought after because on each side, the CENTER 3 panels have a Giant "WINCHESTER" in the traditional red STAGGERED SCRIPT LETTERS. The tops of each END PANEL (both sides) also have this LETTERING, making each panel a great individual piece of advertising. Since so many 5 panels sets are broken up, so that the END PANELS can be used for GUN or KNIFE diplays, the survival of a FULL 5-panel set is indeed RARE!

(side-#2)-Titled "CUTLERY DISPLAY"-shows a GIANT-3 panel display of a WINCHESTER 2 bladed pocket knife and both end panels detail the CONSTRUCTION of the Winchester pocket knife. This side is very desirable to the Knife community. So to have a COMPLETE SET of these, with no restoration of any kind is quite unusual. I only know of 3 complete sets that have survived! I am selling all 5-panels, so here goes another are one, that is not published in any SPORTING COLLECTIBLE book.

-(January-February, 1926)-I have the center (3) panels, these are FOR SALE! I am still seeking the END PANELS. This set is NOT PUBLISHED in the Winchester "RARITIES" book!

(side-#1/February)-Titled "Building Scene with HAMMER"-these (3) center panels show a GIANT HAMMER (with its paper label-in Mint Condition), that appear across all three panels. The famous red "WINCHESTER" in STAGGERED SCRIPT LETTERS is also across all three panels. Also shown are two CARPENTERS framing a house! Also note in red STAGGERED SCRIPT LETTERS-"AS GOOD AS THE GUN".

(side-#2/January)-Titled "AS GOOD AS THE GUN". THese 3 center panels show a GIANT Blue Oval with the famous Winchester LOGO (By Philip R. Goodwin) and the words "All-WINCHESTER-Products are-AS GOOD AS THE GUN-sold Exclusively-at-THE WINCHESTER STORE". There are many Winchester products surrounding the OVAL. I see a SAW, HAMMER, PLIERS, Flashlights, Cutlery, Meat Grinder, Skates and a BOYS WAGON. In total MINT condition, has no restoration of any kind. Very rare, I didn't see this until just last year, after collecting this panels for 30+ years. As noted would buy the END PANELS (they have TOOLS on them).

-(July-August, 1926)-I have the center (3) panels and (1) end panel, these are FOR SALE! I am still seeking the other END PANEL! This set was NOT PUBLISHED in the Winchester "RARITIES" book!

(side-#1/July)-Titled "WORK BENCH SCENE "w" TOOLS"-displays a Carpenter, IN HIS SHOP, with a FULL ARRAY of Wincheser TOOLS. He is using a SAW and too his right is a INSERT-which shows a actual customer from BOLIVER, MO. Which is less than 50 miles from where I live.

The INSERT was NOT USED in any other WINCHESTER STORE 5-panel. It pictures a older man working in his shop. "568 Saws Sharped with Winchester Files in 1925 by 84 year old Mechanic.-ABE SNOWBARGER of Bolivar, Missouri, files saws for POLK and surrounding Counties-He empatically declares that WINCHESTER FILES are the best" VERY UNIQUE! The end panel (#1-shows a Hand scribing a DOOR HINGE + "Let us SUPPLY YOUR HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS", all on a Blue background/there are two missing pieces!. I believe the other END PANEL (the one I am seeking to buy), says "CORRECT HARDWARE". I would be a buyer of this panel.

(side-#2/August)-Titled "HOME CANNING SCENE"-the center (3) panels shows a MOM canning a batch of PEACHES and her young son about to get one for himself. "You will enjoy selecting your HOUSE FURNISHING here! Get started Early!". I have one END PANEL which shows a hand sharping a knife and a egg beater, Meat Cleaver, Potato Masher etc. It has no TEXT/there are two missing pieces. I would be a buyer of the other END PANEL which shows a woman putting a COOKED TURKEY on a shelf with a COOKED HAM below. It also shows a COFFEE POT, PRESSURE COOKER and some cooking pans of various sizes. The center 3 panels are currently mounted on White acid-free foam board with the TOOL SCENE facing out. I have pictures of the CANNING SIDE, so I know that it is in excellent shape. All these panels are in excellent condition, except as noted!

(side-#2/October)-Titled "LOCAL RECEPTION-NOT TOO GOOD" by Briggs-the center (3) panels shows wife coming down stairs at night and she is shining FLASHLIGHT on her HUSBAND trying to tune into a station on his HAM RADIO (at 3:00am!). END PANEL (#1-"Winchester DEPENDABLE-FLASHLIGHTS and BATTERIES"-shows a FLASHLIGHT shining on a dark shelf which has PRESERVES. (#5-"Winchester-RADIO BATTERIES for BETTER RECEPTION"-shows hand inserting a key into a Winchester PADLOCK and below (5) different FLASHLIGHTS and several BATTERIES. THE ONLY the SECOND TIME I RECALL SEEING A WINCHESTER PADLOCK FEATURED IN A WINCHESTER 5-PANEL!

But no restoration of any type on any PANELS. Signed on both sides by "BRIGGS", who was a well known cartoonist in the '20's!

(January/Febuary-1929)-these (3) Winchester center panels are seldom seen, they are very late in the life of the WINCHESTER STORES and of Winchester Repeating Arms Co., They are the second from the last ever produced! These were NOT PUBLISHED in the Winchester "RARITIES" book! So RARE that I have never even seen a completed 5-panel set.

(side-#1)- Titled "WINNING THE WEST-GENERAL MERCHANDISE"- has a great WESTERN scene-the same as on the Winchester 1929 calendar-"WINNING the WEST" (by the famous western artist-Frank Tenney Johnson). It shows a very attractive couple waveing at a passing PONY EXPRESS RIDER with their faithful dog. (Note-at this late date the WINCHESTER STORES are still selling "Tools, Cutlery, Flashlights, Batteries, Paint, Sporting Goods and Housewares!

(side'#2)-Titled "THE POWERFULL KATRINKA HELPS THE HAMMER DEMONSTRATION-TOOLS and PAINT"-has a very nice cartoon by F.FOX (and signed in the lower right corner). These three panels are mounted on white acid-free foam board. I have picutres of the second side and it is MINTY. Can ship to you on the foam board or can cut the srinkwrap and just ship the panels, your choice! What a great collectible! I am actively seeking the end panels or any literature that shows the set! I am getting some glare from the Plastic that each panel is wrapped in! A very rare item, Great for a GUN or WINCHESTER STORE collection.

-(March/April-1929)-these (3) WINCHESTER STORE center panels are seldom seen. They are believed to be the very last 5-panel set produced by WINCHESTER STORE-Winchester Repeating Arms Co.These were NOT PUBLISHED in the Winchester "RARITIES" book! So RARE that I have never even seen a completed 5-panel set. In FACT I have never seen these published in any SPORTING COLLECTIBLES book, magazine or article!

(side-#1/MARCH-1929)-Titled "MAKE YOUR DREAM GARDEN a REALITY"-I have one panel that is in decent shape, the other two are extremely poor. From those I can determine that this CARTOON was by Wm. McCAY (same cartoonist that did the August 1928 panel), that featured the "LILIPUTIONS". Those same WEIRD characters are in this cartoon including the politically INCORRECT ones! There is text on lower portion of one panel that reads "FARM & GARDEN TOOLS-stand the test of CULIVATION". I do not have or ever seen the END PANELS, but they probably have TOOLS or GARDEN TOOLS displayed. I would like to obtain these if possible!

(side'#2/APRIL-1929)-Titled "NATIONWIDE MONEY SAVING SALE" and the cartoon is by F.FOX. It has his normal characters and the old man is trying to get some "WIMMEN" to the Winchester STORE. I am actively seeking the end panels or any literature that shows this set!

I am a Historian and avid collector of all things WINCHESTER STORE, particularly of the very last few months and days, just before they went out of business. Please call or email, if you have any knowledge or information about this, the dying days of the WINCHESTER STORE era!

"Winchester Store-5 panel sets-with HUNTING scenes or displaying RIFLES, SHOTGUNS & AMMUNITION" (for sale!)
(April 1-7, 1920)-This is 4th Winchester 5-panel set ever produced and I think its in the top (5) for great design and collectiblity. This is very early (1920), so only one-sided and it shows a Great scene of a vintage TRAP LINE, from the "TRAP HOUSE" to the "TRAP LINE". Besides the very prominent M-12 in the foreground, it also is advertises Winchester "Leader" and "REPEATER" shotgun shells. I am selling all 5-panels, so here goes a rare one. This same scene is used on other Winchester advertising pieces. This in MINT condition, no restoration of any kind, bright colors, no tears, no tape, no nothing! Yes, this was used in the publication of the Winchester "RARITIES" book and can be seen on p.94.$10,000

(prr)

-(May 27-June 2, 1920)-Titled "JUNIOR TRAP SHOOTING OUTFIT". This is a complete WINCHESTER STORE 5-panel set. It is the one shown in the Winchester "RARITIES" book on p.98. IF you look closely in the book, you can see that I sent these photo's in to the editor. This the same 5-panel shown in both of RON STADT's books. Book#1-"Winchester SHOTGUNS and SHOTSHELLS", Ronald W. Stadt, 1984-Armory Publications: Tacoma, page 83. The second book "Winchester SHOTGUNS and SHOTSHELLS", Ronald W.Stadt, 1995-Krause Publications, Iola, WI.-page 148. It is in the same black wood frame (and under glass) from when Ron had it. It is the only one I have ever seen-extremely rare!

When I sell my WINCHESTER JUNIOR TRAPSHOOTING KIT, I will also sell this 5-panel set. It is the only one known, its MINT, unrestored, no flaws of any kind, the colors are OUTSTANDING! It has been behind glass for 25+ years. It is the first year (1920), so it is 1-sided and the only 5-panel dedicated solely to the Winchester TRAPSHOOTING KIT (Outfit). It is extremely rare, because there were not many WINCHESTER STORES in May, 1920 (maybe 7/10 stores total). So the "pool" of these that were ever produced was very small and then the survival rate must have been very high! in fact it is the 12 th, or 13 th. panel set that the Winchester SALES SERVICE department had ever sent! I have a signed and dated letter from Ron for provenance. In fact I bought this from Ron many years ago. Its the very best you can get in this collectible! IT RARE! ITS STONE MINT! and HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE! I have had a most complete collection of WINCHESTER STORE 5-panel sets and this is the single most RARE and at the same time BEST CONDITIONED one of the ALL!

There are only (3) Winchester Store 5-panel sets that show the JUNIOR TRAPSHOOTING KIT, including a Winchester Model-20 shotgun. The father is proudly watching his son shoot the .22 RIFLE while he is Target Shooting with a lever action rifle (M-1886 or M-92/94-can't tell for sure) and the son has nice .22 rifle (perhaps a (Model 1890)?.

Also this is the only Winchester 5-panel that ever mentions 16 or 20 gauge Guns and Shells. Very unique, this is the same 5-panel used in the Winchester "RARITIES book-pp.106. It is in MINT condition, no restoration of any kind. It is currently mounted on White acid-free foam board and srinkwrapped.

(side-#1)-Titled "WINCHESTER JUNIOR RIFLE CORPS, LEARN TO SHOOT". A great "OUTDOOR" WJRC scene featuring the entire club of Boys sitting on the bench and the older adults shooting from the STANDING POSITION. What a great scene with the lake and trees all around-IDEAL.

(side-#2)-Titled "FLY FISHING"-shows the classic FLY FISHING scene. His pole is in his raised LEFT hand and the right hand has the net and he has his Trout. Both sides are STONE MINT, no restoration of any kind-this is probably one the best conditioned set I have in my collection, very well preseved. not even any EDGE WEAR!

(Side-#1) Titled "RIFLES and AMMUNITION"-The center three individual panels feature a .401 Auto-loading RIFLE, a Model-95 and the best of all, a very desirable panel showing the "MODEL-94". Each end panel shows METALLIC AMMUNITION for these RIFLES and what is really rare (Ammunition for the Winchester Model-86). THIS IS THE ONLY 5-PANEL SET THAT FEATURES ANYTHING ABOUT THE WINCHESTER MODEL-86)!

Again, each panel (on both sides) has the red "WINCHESTER" in STAGGERED SCRIPT LETTERS, making each panel a Prime canidate for use in different Winchester collections.

(Side-#2)-is interesting in that it features 5 different Winchester FLASHLIGHTS or BATTERIES, including a GIANT Picture of a 1923 SPOT-LIGHT model with a CURVED LENS and another with a cutaway Winchester BATTERY.

(side-#1)-Titled " SPORTS EQUIPMENT" that shows a large WINCHESTER FOOTBALL (on the center panel). The other panel shows WINCHESTER FOOTBALL Suppplies-(a Winchester FOOTBALL, Winchester FOOTBALL HELMET and a Wincheter FOOTBALL SHOULDERS PADs. The panel on BASKETBALL SUPPLIES, shows a BASKETBALL, BASKETBALL SHORTS and KNEE BRACE. Each of these panels has a very prominate "WINCHESTER" in red staggered script Letters at the top. Since this side can't be shown readily, I have furnished some pictures from the "RARITIES" book that give you a idea of that side. This is the set used for the "RARITIES" book, so you are looking at the real "thing"!

(side-#2)-Titled "SHOTGUNS and SHELLS"-this side is just as desirable if not more so, since it also has individual Panels, (again with the red "STAGGERED SCRIPT LETTERS" and (2) of the most popular Winchester SHOTGUNS ever produced-(a Model 12, a Model 97, and the only cutaway panel of a Model 12 that was ever used on a 5 panel set. In addition the both end panels have neat pictures of Winchester "REPEATER" brand SHOTSHELLS. (NOTE)-this is a NICKLE STEEL Model 1912, and before 28 gauge was introduced! If you look hard you might find a individual panel of the guns, and even rarer you might find the center 3 panels, but to find a complete 5 panel set is truly rare, and they just don't come up for sale, the collectors keep them.

THis is another of my best conditioned 5-panel sets, its MINT on both sides, No restoration, just truly great piece. I currently have it mounted on White acid-free foam board with the GUN side facing out. I have pictures of the other side, it is MINT ALSO, but will ship it either on the foam board or just the panels themselves, your choice!

(June 21-28, 1923)-This WJRC 5 panel set is NOT in the Winchester "RARITIES" book. Neither Tommy or I had a full set of all 5 panels for this rare, rare set! This is probably the single most difficult WJRC set to find complete. I have the first 3 panels (#1, #2, #3) and still looking for/I would BUY! (#4 & #5)!

(side-#1)-Titled ".22 CALIBER GUN & AMMO DISPLAY"-shows a very colorfull scene with two BOY SCOUTS in RED canoe approaching their camp. Underneath the scene are pictures of WINCHESTER STORE products!

(panel-#1)-".22 CALIBER RIFLES"-Model 02 single shot rifle, Model 04 single shot rifle and Model 52 Bolt action rifle" and their corresponding boxes of shells ".22 Precision", ".22 Extra Long" and ".22 Short")

(panel-#2)-"FISHING TACKLE"-shows 5 flies, #2336 and #1630 reels, some #8164 Fishing line, a #8340 Steel BAIT CASTING ROD and a #6095 BAMBOO FLY ROD.)

(panel-#3)-has #4950 Scout Patten pocket knife, a #2608 Stabber Pattern , $9461 Stock Pattern pocket knife, a #5601 SCOUT AXE and SCOUT SHEALTH, and finally 6 different FLASHLIGHTS including a VEST POCKET model).

(panel-#4-which is missing)-shows the CAMP on the shore and beneath that (#4-".22 CALIBER RIFLES"/3 of them and ammo).

(panel-#5-which is missing)-shows the woods behind the camp and (#5-"BASEBALL SUPPLIES" + Mitts, Bats and Catchers Mask.) I would be a buyer of either of these individual panels.

(July 26-August 1, 1923)-This is a complete WINCHESTER STORE 5-panel set! It is very rare, it does NOT APPEAR IN THE WINCHESTER "RARITIES" book!

(side-#1)-Titled "HIGH POWER RIFLE DISPLAY"-shows a GIANT Cutaway of the MODEL-94 and the (3) calibers it was chamered for-(.30 Winchester Soft Point, .32 Winchester Soft Point, and .38-55 HIGH POWER Soft Point). This Cutaway covers the entire center 3 panels. One END PANEL panel shows a Model-92 and it's shells (.25-20 Winchester Soft Point, .32 Winchester Soft Point, .38 Winchester Soft Point and .44 Winchester Soft Point). The other END PANEL is very special, it shows the Model-95 with its (3) respective 4 caliber shells-(.405 Wichester Soft Point, .35 Winchester Soft Point and .30 Government 1906 Soft Point.

There are only a very few M-92 or M-95 Gun Advertising pieces ever produced, especially in this large format and they just doesn't come to market. Because the end panels themselves look so great (individually), in any GUN or Advertising collection, this further drives up the cost and availabity of this COMPLETE SET. In addition these are most sought after because on each side, the CENTER 3 panels have a Giant "WINCHESTER" in the traditional red STAGGERED SCRIPT LETTERS. The tops of each END PANEL (both sides) also have this LETTERING, making each panel a great individual piece of advertising. Since so many 5 panels sets are broken up, so that the END PANELS can be used for GUN or KNIFE diplays, the survival of a FULL 5-panel set is indeed RARE!

(side-#2)-Titled "CUTLERY DISPLAY"-shows a GIANT-3 panel display of a WINCHESTER 2 bladed pocket knife and both end panels detail the CONSTRUCTION of the Winchester pocket knife. This side is very desirable to the Knife community. So to have a COMPLETE SET of these, with no restoration of any kind is quite unusual. I only know of 3 complete sets that have survived! I am selling all 5-panels, so here goes another are one, that is not published in any SPORTING COLLECTIBLE book.

(August 3-9, 1922)-This is a complete Winchester 5-panel set and it isNOT in the Winchester "RARITIES" book, it is very rare, especially in its complete format!

(side-#1)-Titled "HIGH POWER RIFLE DISPLAY"-each of these 5 panels is terrific in its OWN right. Each panel (on both sides) has the famous red "WINCHESTER" in STAGGERED SCRIPT letters.

(#1/end panel-Crystal Cleaner-Rust Remover-Gun Grease),

(#2-.22 RIFLES-shows 7 different .22 models),

(#3-MODEL-94/cutaway of M-94 with action OPEN and with it CLOSED-a killer piece!),

(#4-HIGH POWER RIFLES-has 4 high power rifles & 4 shotguns),

(#5-GUN OIL & UTILITY OIL). These panels are used individually in collections, so there are very few COMPLETE SETS still around.

(side-#2)-Titled "CARVING SET DISPLAY"-each panel is a individual display of Winchester CARVING SETS or KITCHEN SETS. This side is nice, but the VALUE is all in the GUN and OIL panels. I only know of (3) complete sets, and its even been a long time since a single panel has shown up! These are in excellent condition and have no restoration of any kind.

(side-#1)-Titled "GUN and AMMUNITION"-a single PANEL showing the Winchester MODEL-06 and the three different .22 (rimfire) cartridges that it fired! The entire set of (5) different .22 rifles is extremely hard to collect as they are hard to find in any condition and if are found they go into Collections and DO NOT get sold again. (The other panels are MODEL-90, MODEL-02, MODEL-04 and MODEL-03. I would be interested in purchasing any or all of these panels!

(side-#2)-Titled "POCKET KNIVES DISPLAY"-shows (8) different PARING KNIVES and (4) STAINLESS STEEL KNIVES. The other 4 panels are-POCKET KNIVES, SICCORS, KITCHEN KNIVES and the center panel has a LARGE PARING KNIVE "for Canning Season". I would be a puchaser of any of all of these panels! The condition of this SINGLE PANEL is MINT, no restoration of any kind, no fading, no tears, no stains, perfect top, bottom and edges (which is very unusual to find)! If Tommy didn't have it, you know it was rare! This is the only panel from this set of (5) that I have, and at (age 70) it doesn't look like I will be able to comlete this set. I think I have every set except for (3) which includes this one. A must of any good .22 rifle collector. This is fully protected between two clear sheets of Plexiglass and then taped on each edge (the tape on the edges causes the distoration that the picture shows). This PANEL is MINT-no restoration of any kind, no tears, no fading, no tape etc. It's rare and not in any SPORTING COLLECTIBLES book!

(ca.November-December, 1922)-This is a complete WINCHESTER STORE 5-panel set. A very RARE and fascinating piece of Winchester advertising. The Winchester "RARITIES" book (on p.102) shows a similar, but different Big Game scene. Winchester produced over (50) different 5-panel sets for use in the WINCHESTER STORES, but only two featured BIG GAME and both use large GRIZZLY BEARS as the subject-(never a ELK or DEER!)! This is a BIG GAME SCENE that is entirely different from the one listed in Winchester "RARITIES" book-p.102, and it is the only complete set known. The pictures weren't available at the time of the publication of the "RARITIES" book.

(side-#1)-Titled "BIG GAME DISPLAY". it features a very large GRIZZLY, who is standing up and looking very LARGE as he faces the HUNTER who is in position to save himself with his WINCHESTER MODEL-95.

(side-#2)-Titled "ICE SKATING DISPLAY" shows several ICE SKATERS on a frozen pond. This set of panels is currently mounted on a white acid-free foam board and srinkwrapped. I have pictures of this side before I mounted it and it's condition is the same as the BEAR side. I can ship this to you on the foam board or remove the srinkwrap and just ship the panels. All the panels are in MINTY conditon, no restoration, and are very bright, no fading, no tape etc. THis is extemely rare set, but its for sale!

Winchester produced over (50) different 5-panel sets for use in the WINCHESTER STORES, but only two featured BIG GAME and both use large GRIZZLY BEARS as the subject-(never a ELK or DEER!)!

(December 19-25, 1922)-This is one of the top 5 Winchester 5-panels that I get questioned about and requests to sell. See in the Winchester "RARITIES" book-pp.132.

(Side#-1)-the reason for this HIGH DEMAND is the HUNTING scene with (2) two hunters, ducks over head, decoys in place, and a M-12 and M-97. The end panels have boxes of LEADER and REPEATER shotgun shells. It just doesn't get any better than this!

(Side#-2)-also has considerable demand from the TOOL COLLECTORS, each panel at the top has the great red "WINCHESTER" in STAGERED SCRIPT Letters. Each panel has a seperate display of Winchester TOOLS-(HAMMERS)-(PLANES)-(SAWS)-(HATCHETS) and (WRENCHES). It was in MINT condition, had no restoration of any KIND. The only COMPLETE 5-panel set I was ever able to buy and in MINT condition.

(CHRISTMAS-December 26, 1922-January 4, 1923)-This WINCHESTER STORE WJRC 5-panel set is NOT in the Winchester "RARITIES" book. I have 4 of the 5 panels.

The end panels are crossed Winchester .22 rifles (Model-04 & Model-02) & (Model-90 + Model-06). Still looking for that missing panel or will sell the (4).

(side-#2)-Titled "CHRISTMAS GIFT DISPLAY"-has a green Christmas wearth on the top and Bottom edges and the center panel has a BIG CHRISTMAS GREETING wreath that has "THE WINCHESTER STORE" in big letters. THe other panels shows Christmas gift ideas, (Fishing Rods, Fl., Cutlery set/roll, Ice skates, AUTO KIT and many more including a neat Model 12 shotgun with a 25 round box of shotgun shells and a Model 1890 with its shells. I have seen the center panel being saved as a center piece for a WINCHESTER STORE collection, and the end panels can be had, but the complete set is tough! A rare, rare set!

Each of these panels has a very prominent "WINCHESTER" in red staggered script Letters at the top.

(side-#2)-Titled "CUTAWAY SHOTSHELL" this side is just as desirable if not more so, since it also has individual Panels, (again with the red "STAGGERED LETTERS") and 2 of the most popular Winchester SHOTGUNS-a Model 12, a Model 97, and the only cutaway panel of a Model 12 that was ever used on a 5 panel set. In addition both end panels have neat pictures of the Winchester "REPEATER" brand SHOTSHELLS. If you look hard you might find a individual panel of the guns, and even rarer you might find the center 3 panels, but to find a complete 5 panel set is truly rare, and they just don't come up for sale, the collectors keep them.

This entire set is in Excellent condition and it has no restoration of any kind! A truly great and very collectible set!

"Winchester 5-panel sets "BOY SCOUT", "THANKSGIVING" and "CHRISTMAS"

"Winchester had three very nice 5 panels sets that displayed a young boy in a full "BOY SCOUT" uniform.

If you have some information I would appreciate hearing from you and I will post it here!)

(June 10-16, 1920)-Titled "BOY SCOUT BUILDING DOCK"-this is a complete Winchester 5-panel set and YES, it was the one used in the Winchester "RARITIES" book-pp.99.

This is very early 1920, so it is one-sided and very RARE! Great scene of the young BOY SCOUT (from a white row boat) handing tools and supplies to his Father who is working on a partially completed BOAT DOCK FRAME. In the very distant background you can see two girls (most likeyly his sisters) who have partially waded out to check on the BOYS! A Great, Great scene and it covers the entire 5-panels.

It looks like they are building a round SILO behind the RED BARN and a new FENCE! It has a great scene featuring the Father using a Winchester "HAMMER" and his son holding a Winchester "SAW. The Young BOY is dressed in a full BOY SCOUT Uniform. This is most unusual because there was some limited association between WRACo. and the Boy Scout organization, but it didn't last long. I really don't have many details about it, I just know that in all the WINCHESTER STORE advertising that I have collected, there are only three (3) 5-panel sets that shows young boys in BOY SCOUT Uniforms. This is early 1920, so only one-sided but a rare piece. It is in MINT condition and has no restoration of any kind. Pictures pending!

In the bag I see a very rare SCOOTER, M-90, Hockey Stick, Pocket Knife, Boxing Gloves, Plane, Basketball, two GOLD Scissors, full box of bits, a razor strop and a rare KITCHEN KNIVE SET.The only problem is this is so rare that only a few of the really dedicated Winchester advertising collectors know of its existence. The end panels are sometimes seen, they each show a long list of WINCHESTER STORE gift ideas, including some WJRC (Wincheser Junior Rifle Corp) items.

-(December 26-January 5, 1921)-Titled "WINCHESTER JUNIOR RIFLE CORPS at SHOOTING GALLERY"-This is 4 panels of a 5 panel set. See it in the Winchester "RARITIES" book-pp.113.

(side-#1-WJRC- This collectible piece features a great WJRC scene! One panel is wrapped in protective plastic wrap, so it shows some glare, but actually the colors are great and it displays great-THE reverse side isn't in good shape so I am selling this as a piece to be mounted on the wall and have cut its price in 1/2! A very good deal, WJRC stuff doesn't come along very often!

(side-#1)-Titled "CHRISTMAS DISPLAY"- shows a GIANT (3) center panel scene of a BIG RED SANTA and bag over-filled with Winchester gifts. It is indeed the most charming and sentimental of all the Winchester (5) panels and is a top "10" for sure. In the bag I see a very rare SCOOTER, M-90, Hockey Stick, Pocket Knife, Boxing Gloves, Plane, Basketball, two GOLD Scissors, full box of bits, a razor strop and a rare KITCHEN KNIVE SET.The only problem is this is so rare that only a few of the really dedicated Winchester advertising collectors know of its existence. The end panels are sometimes seen, they each show a long list of WINCHESTER STORE gift ideas, including some WJRC (Wincheser Junior Rifle Corp) items. I have only seen two complete sets of these and bought the only one I ever had a chance to purchase (it was from a private buyer and took 8 years to do the "DEAL".

(side-#2)-Titled "CHRISTMAS GIFT DISPLAY"-has a green Christmas wearth on the top and Bottom edges and the center panel has a BIG CHRISTMAS GREETING wreath that has "THE WINCHESTER STORE" in big letters. THe other panels shows Christmas gift ideas, (Fishing Rods, Fl., Cutlery set/roll, Ice skates, AUTO KIT and many more including a neat Model 12 shotgun with a 25 round box of shotgun shells and a Model 1890 with its shells.

This MAGAZINE AD is better than most, it is from the Literary Digest-December 11, 1920. A very early ad for both the WJRC kit and Winchester JUNIOR TRAPSHOOTING KIT. Not normally featured together this CHRISTMAS ad has a great picture of the full contents of both kits and uses a WJRC picture of boys shooting on a INDOOR range (same scene as used on the 5 panel set). This is a very early ad, at the start of the campaign to sell these products-note the text DOES NOT REFER TO WINCHESTER STORES (yet). The ad itself is in MINT condition, mounted on white acid-free foam board and srink wrapped. A significant REFERENCE PIECE!$30

(ttc)

Another MAGAZINE AD that is better than most. It is also from the Literary Digest, December 6, 1919. Shows a picture of the complete contents of the WINCHESTER JUNIOR TRAPSHOOTING KIT, the MODEL 20, a man and women shooting and interestingly a picture of guys shooting off a Yacht!. Again there is no mention (yet) of going to a WINCHESTER STORE to buy this outfit. Its a very early ad and quite different.$25

(ttc)

The final MAGAZINE AD in this series of (3) is also from the Literary Digest of May 29, 1920. It shows a nice ad of two young men throwing/shooting with a full WINCHESTER JUNIOR TRAPSHOOTING KIT laying in the background. It also features a big display of the Model 20 itself, the clay targets and the .410 shells. Still no mention of going to a WINCHESTER STORE to buy the KIT. Interestingly it refers to the kit by the initals "W.J.T."-I don't remember seeing that used before (of after for that matter).$25

(TTH)

This is the STANDARD SIZE trap thrower that is part of the equipment in the famous "WINCHESTER JR. TRAP SHOOTING KIT". What is for sale here is the MINT UNUSED STANDARD SIZED THROWER and its original box. So this was made to be sold as a seperate item also. The KIT was expensive (for that time frame-the early 1920's) so this item was made available. No one has seen another of this box-there may be others out there, but none have surfaced yet. The box itself has a great graffic on the front (showing the lady shooting the clay and the Husband/boyfried? throwing. There is a small graffic on one end, the other end is missing. A great and historical piece for any collector.thrower

"Winchester Store-JUNIOR TRAPSHOOTING KIT"-5-panel sets" (for sale!)

-(May 27-June 2, 1920)-Titled "JUNIOR TRAP SHOOTING OUTFIT". This is a complete WINCHESTER STORE 5-panel set. It is the one shown in the Winchester "RARITIES" book on p.98. IF you look closely in the book, you can see that I sent these photo's in to the editor. This the same 5-panel shown in both of RON STADT's books. Book#1-"Winchester SHOTGUNS and SHOTSHELLS", Ronald W. Stadt, 1984-Armory Publications: Tacoma, page 83. The second book "Winchester SHOTGUNS and SHOTSHELLS", Ronald W.Stadt, 1995-Krause Publications, Iola, WI.-page 148. It is in the same black wood frame (and under glass) from when Ron had it. It is the only one I have ever seen-extremely rare!

When I sell my WINCHESTER JUNIOR TRAPSHOOTING KIT, I will also sell this 5-panel set. It is the only one known, its MINT, unrestored, no flaws of any kind, the colors are OUTSTANDING! It has been behind glass for 25+ years. It is the first year (1920), so it is 1-sided and the only 5-panel dedicated solely to the Winchester TRAPSHOOTING KIT (Outfit). It is extremely rare, because there were not many WINCHESTER STORES in May, 1920 (maybe 7/10 stores total). So the "pool" of these that were ever produced was very small and then the survival rate must have been very high! in fact it is the 12 th, or 13 th. panel set that the Winchester SALES SERVICE department had ever sent! I have a signed and dated letter from Ron for provenance. In fact I bought this from Ron many years ago. Its the very best you can get in this collectible! IT RARE! ITS STONE MINT! and HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE! I have had a most complete collection of WINCHESTER STORE 5-panel sets and this is the single most RARE and at the same time BEST CONDITIONED one of the ALL!

There are only (3) Winchester Store 5-panel sets that show the JUNIOR TRAPSHOOTING KIT, including a Winchester Model-20 shotgun. The father is proudly watching his son shoot the .22 RIFLE while he is Target Shooting with a lever action rifle (M-1886 or M-92/94-can't tell for sure) and the son has nice .22 rifle (perhaps a (Model 1890)?. A really great scene and they worked Mother into the act, she is watching her Boys proudly for the porch railing.

This particular one (#33-F) is hard to find as most Winchester FISHING COLLECTORS want one! All original, no restoration of any kind!sold

(cct)

-(ca.1923)-I am glad someone (in the past) saved this piece. It is one CARD, of perhaps 8 or 9 similar cards that made up a Winchester MISSIONARY SALESMANS roll of Wichester LURES and FLIES. I have seen some of the these rolls (and also of HOOKS, metal baits, etc.), but to find a complete INTACT roll is very difficult. I certainly bid on them but never got them! This one of those DISPLAY CARDS and it was framed a long time ago to preserve the bright colors of these (8) BASS FLIES.

The top line is WINCHESTER-trademark in bright red STAGGERED SCRIPT LETTERS. Then "HIGHEST QUALITY BASS FLIES-made in U.S.A." At the bottom is the 4 digit code "3151". The flies are undistrubed, no restoration of any kind. Someone has written in beautiful hand writing (in ink) the names of each fly. They very carefully and professionaly wrote this in the loop of the LEADER of each FLY. I think perhaps done at the factory, very hard to imagine anyone doing this later and never making a mistake or getting the lettering so perfect.

The lettering on each is starting on the TOP ROW (left side to right)-"ROYAL COACHMAN", "YELLOW SALLY", "SILVER DARTER", "WHITE MILLER". Second row-"IBIS", "MONTREAL", "PROFESSOR", "XXXX BETTLE". Just a outstanding CENTERPIECE for any WINCHESTER FLYFISHING Collection.

A great scene, the lovely lady is in her perfect skirt and hat, she has HOOKED her fish and her male companion is netting the catch.

(side-#2)-THis side is also very, very collectible. It features a Baseball pitcher delivering his best stuff to the waiting batter, with the catcher and umpire in postion also. A great classic scene with a old style Baseball GRANDSTAND in the background and you can also spot two of the infielders! Look closely and you can see this is a WINCHESTER BASEBALL TEAM, the famous red "W" on the baseball cap and note it is also PRINTED on the OUTFIELD WALL. Also note the PC incorrect AD for cigerattes! Both END PANELS show Winchester BASEBALL EQUIPMENT-Bats, Balls, all style of Gloves, catcher's mask and chest protector! (some Winchester collectors just take one panel and try to get all the items shown on the panel-it makes for a nice small collection). The Condition is MINT, with no restoration of any kind!

(side-#2)-Titled "FIVE TOOL SCENES"-This side is highly sought after because all the panels display some kind of a CONSTRUCTION scene and at the bottom of each they have some great Winchester TOOLS (which makes each panel great for a TOOL COLLECTION). One particluar panel is really a catch, it's one of the very few pieces of Winchester advertising that shows the famous "WINCHESTER STORE TRUCK". Try to buy just that one panel!

(March 20-25, 1924)- a great Winchester 5 panel set, that can seen in the Winchester "RARITIES" book-pp.142.

(side-#1)-Titled "SPLIT BAMBOO RODS" shows the construction of the Winchester "SPLIT BAMBOO RODS". It has a GIANT red "WINCHESTER" in red STAGGGED LETTERS across the whole center (3) panels.

(NOTE)-the #5 end panel is the only panel in ANY WINCHESTER 5-panel set that talks about EDWARDS made FLY RODS!

(side-#2)-Titled-"STEEL GOODS displays some neat "STEEL GOODS". This side has the red "Winchester" STAGGERED script letters on each panel. (#1-Winchester-HOES), (#2-Winchester-FORKS), (#3-Winchester-SHOVELS & SPADES, (#4-Winchester-HAY FORKS) and (#5-Winchester-RAKES). You can find the individual panels some times, but the complete set is scarce. The condition is MINT (another of the very best conditioned panel sets that I have), has no restoration of any kind. On some of the panels the glare from the camera flash has washed out the colors a little. On other panels the true colors do come through. This one is TOTALLY MINT.

(May, 1926)-a rare and complete Winchester 5-panel set, see Winchester "RARITIES" book-pp.146.

(side-#1)-Titled " SUMMER SPORT" by mid-1926 WRACo. was making their panels more colorful, attractive and PACKING more products in each panel. These individual panels all have the red "WINCHESTER" in STAGGERED LETTERS at the top, so they could be used in many types of seasonal displays. (panel-#1-"BASEBALL GOODS"-3 different mitts-bat-catchers mask-baseball shoes), (panel-#2-great picture of baseman catching the ball, just as the runner arrives), (panel-#3-shows a boy in the lead on his Winchester Roller Skates, followed by a girl on SCOOTER (rare appearance of a SCOOTER) and then another boy in a Winchester Metal wagon), (panel-#4-FLYFISHERMAN has caught a nice looking Trout), and (panel-#5-"FISHING TACKLE"-rods, lures, line, minnow belt bucket/very rare in advertising and also a rare appearance of a FOOD JAR). Again lots of products, some just introduced in 1926!

(Note the Winchester IRON and Winchester WOODEN IRONING BOARD in the background, again two (2)items not previously shown on a 5-panel set! Both END PANELS also have the red "WINCHESTER" STAGGERED LETTERS" and "CUTLERY and many products including the very rare SHEALTH KNIFE! In MINT condition and has no restoration of any kind.

Here is the perfect wood crate for the OIL CAN COLLECTOR! A large hand-made DOVETAIL shipping crate for "1 GROSS 3 OZ. CAN-Genereal Utility Can-Made in usa-Winchester Repeating Arms Co., New Haven, Conn. USA". The only one I have ever seen, I used it as a small coffee table. All this printing is on both sides, it also has the red"W" and MIUSA, so we know it was after 1924 and before 1938. Must have been a very large order of OIL CANS, perhaps from the WRACo. factory to one of the Winchester regional warehouses. In great condition, all ORIGINAL, not retouched in any way.$250

(pct)

(March/1924). Of all the smaller "Winchester-OIL, GREASE, RUST REMOVER and CLEANING PREPARATIONS" advertising material I think this is the best. It very nicely shows all four (4) elements along with a Gun Barrel, Hunting Hat and cleaning rod, patches and screwdriver! You can see in the text that is talks about both WELL-KEPT GUNS and SPORTING GOODS-it carries the number (#23-F). The reverse side (#23-B) is a mint scene with a great 1920's High-Dollar Car and several Winchester-PUNCHES and COLD CHISELS. This is STONE COLD MINT, I think the best there is and has the condition and rarity to match! NOTE-the FOURTH picture is the only one that truly shows how MINT (and it still has some washed out glare from the CAMERA FLASH and the WHITE PARTS of the scene), this piece of 2-sided cardboard really is! This piece has no restoration of any kind!SOLD!

(edc)

(April/1923)-a great 2-sided cardboard and fairly rare! The first side (#32-F) shows a GENERAL UTILITY OIL can being used on the Winchester Roller Skate. The reverse side (#32-B) shows a Winchester red "W" can of GREEN LAWN and FURNITURE PAINT. That is the correct stock number for GREEN #1202. The picture itself shows 2 pictures of period Wicker Lawn Furniture painted Green, and sitting on the porch. This WINCHESTER STORE advertising piece is complete, but has two cracks/creases, but no restoration and its all there!$400

(fdc)

(MARCH/1924)-a neat small, 2-sided WINCHESTER STORE display card. This side (#16-B) describes "WINCHESTER GENERAL UTILITY OIL" and the reverse side (#16-F) is about "WINCHESTER AUGER BITS SETS, both as rolls or boxed!. Not commonly seen and small enough to fit into any WINCHESTER collection, this piece is MINTY! All Original, no restoration of any kind, no tears, fading etc.$250

(August/1920)-a very rare 1-sided small counter-top display with easle-back. This is exactly like the 5-panel set which features both Winchester GUNS (shotgun and rifle) and Winchester GUN OIL. I am selling the actual counter sign as shown in the Wincheter "RARITES" book-pp.104. Pictures and text pending!$xxx

(xxx)

(August/1923)-a very rare 1-sided Winchester "GENERAL UTILITY OIL" cardboard counter-top display that has a easleback!. In the first year that WINCHESTER STORES existed (1920), these smaller (8 1/4" wide x 10 1/4" high) were sent to each store with the weekly package of 5-panels! There were not many stores in that first year (1920) and few of these survived! The scene with the grey GENERAL UTILITY OIL CAN and the STARS is exactly like the corresponding 5 panel scene. A great Winchester advertising scene dedicated solely to the GENERAL UTILITY OIL CAN! The condition is MINTY, has no holes in it and has the original easle-back! No restoration of any kind, mounted on white acid-free foam board and ready to hang on the wall! NOTE-both the counter-top display and the 5-panel set (as shown on p.103-in the Winchester "RARITIES" book) is what I am sellling. These were the one used for that book!$SOLD!

(August 3-9, 1922)-This is a complete Winchester 5-panel set and it is NOT in the Winchester "RARITIES" book, it is very rare, especially in its complete format!

(side-#1)-Titled "HIGH POWER RIFLE DISPLAY"-each of these 5 panels is terrific in its OWN right. Each panel (on both sides) has the famous red "WINCHESTER" in STAGGERED SCRIPT letters.

(#1/end panel-Crystal Cleaner-Rust Remover-Gun Grease),

(#2-.22 RIFLES-shows 7 different .22 models),

(#3-MODEL-94/cutaway of M-94 with action OPEN and with it CLOSED-a killer piece!),

(#4-HIGH POWER RIFLES-has 4 high power rifles & 4 shotguns),

(#5-GUN OIL & UTILITY OIL). These panels are used individually in collections, so there are very few COMPLETE SETS still around.

(side-#2)-Titled "CARVING SET DISPLAY"-each panel is a individual display of Winchester CARVING SETS or KITCHEN SETS. This side is nice, but the VALUE is all in the GUN and OIL panels. I only know of (3) complete sets, and its even been a long time since a single panel has shown up! These are in excellent condition and have no restoration of any kind. (note) any big advertisng for M-92 or M-94 is very hard to get, this display has both and a Model-20!

(4-17-24), also marked in the upper right hand corner "54-KK". This means this very unusual PAINT ASSORMENT No.5 was from those early days when WRACo. and SIMMON HARDWARE (with their Keen Kutter Brand) were combing their manufacturing and selling expertise! This Assortment includes-ENAMEL UNDERCOAT-BATH ENAMEL-HOUSE PAINT-OLD WOOD STAIN-VARNISH STAIN-FLOOR PAINT-PORCH & DECK Paint-WAGON & IMPLEMENT Paint-BARN and ROOF Paint-Screen Paint-GOLD & ALUMINUM Paints-AUTOMOBILE ENAMEL-DECORATIVE ENAMEL and various VARNISHES!. It contains 47 different color sample strips. It is in MINT condition and the heading shows the RED "W" Brand logo, which is correct for 1924. Unusual in its size and complexity, it is my best one. It has been perfectly preseved, mounted on white acid-free foam board, srink-wrapped and has a wire hanger for display.$750

(rct)

(marked in the lower left corner of the back page-#5M-8-25)-This is a very colorfull brochure for "FLOOR PAINT" dated July, 1925. This is MINT in every way, no seperation at the seams, and most importantly NO RESTORATION of any kind! Has a great scene on the front page and shows the WRACo. red "W" Brand on 3 of the 4 pages. The color strip on the 3rd. page has 9 colors and the bottom of the 4 page lists 17 different HIGH QUALITY PAINT PRODUCTS. I always figured that meant there should be 17 paint samplers to collect but I never got beyond 5. After looking for 35 years that shows you how difficult these are to find. Sorry a little out of focus, but a truly great piece!$450

(fct)

(marked 2624 U.S.Color Card. Chicago T-572)-I am taking this to be dated Feb.6, 1924. It is constructed exactly like the previous brochure and the back page shows the same 17 different HIGH QUALITY PAINT PRODUCTS. I think thats a good time estimate but let me know if you have additional information. This is for "PORCH & DECK PAINT", has the identical style of picture on the front page but inside both center pages contain 5 paint samples each. Again 3 of the 4 pages have the WRACo. red "W" Brand logo. This piece is not quite the same quality as the one above but still very nice. Inside someone wrote in pencil the cost quote, $2.25 + .65 + .68 for a total of $3.38 (perhaps for a gallon of PAINT?) Interesting! The piece is not a dark as the pictures show, I need to redo them!$425

(fct)

(marked 2631 U.S.Color Card. Chicago T-572)-I am taking this to be dated Feb.6, 1931. It is constructed exactly like the previous brochure (except it is a 3 page/6pp. foldout version, and the back page shows the same 17 different HIGH QUALITY PAINT PRODUCTS. I think thats a good time estimate but let me know if you have additional information. This is for "VARNISH STAIN", has the identical style of picture on the front page but inside the two outer pages contain 5 paint samples each, the center page has another great VARNISHING SCENE. On this brochure, 4 of the 6 pages have the WRACo. red "W" Brand logo. This piece STONE MINT, has no restoration of any kind! Additionally it has a folded over piece of semi-clear tissure paper, the way its folded I think it is ORIGINAL to this piece! Again the pictures do NOT tell the story of how MINT this piece is!$475

(fft)

(marked at the very bottom on the inside of the second page-#W1066-10M-4-28). This dates this CUSTOMER DIRECT MAIL piece as April, 1928). The WINCHESTER STORES are sending this to their customer in the SPRING TIME, getting them thinking of PAINTING when warm weather arrives. This is a 4 page/8 sided with the same 17 different HIGH QUALITY PAINT PRODUCTS as all the other paint samples had! The front page has a nice fireplace scene, labelled "SOFT TONE FLAT WALL PAINT. The two inside pages have 8 different paint colors on each page and their another nice LIVING/PALOR Room scene. This a unused DIRECT MAIL PIECE and in very good to excellent condition. Has no fading, no seam seperation, no restoration! A much rarer piece of WRACo. paper, probably was found in the drawer of a WINCHESTER STORE, since its condition is so fine. I should retake the pictures, they are too dark, this piece is much better than shown.$650

(rrc)

(marked on the very bottom of the center page-#2-24-25, this is a slightly different version of a WINCHESTER STORE DIRECT MAIL Piece. It is only a 3page/6page foldout and "THE WINCHESTER STORE" is printed in red and the store itself has added a bright red oval sticker with their return address-"from BEEMER'S-Hdwe.Store-YARDLY-PA." The piece is unused and the front page has seperated from the other two pages. The front shows a very nice LARGE 2-story HOME and is titled "READY MIXED-HOUSE PAINT". The two pages inside each contain 6 paint samplers and it has its own attached piece of tissue paper. This is a different version of the CUSTOMER DIRECT MAIL OUT literature, it has some issues but I never saw another. My idea in collecting was to buy something that I thought was very scarce and upgrade if I ever saw a better one! I never did, so I am glad I have a representive examlpe of one that shows the acutal store address! Would be worth twice this price if the condition was better!$350

-(1927)-This Winchester Store "COLOR CARD HOLDER" as it is described in the 1927 Winchester Store CATALOG is very RARE! Anything that made its first appearance in the late 1927 catalog is usually very hard to find. Not many were made since this catalog was the last BIG push for Winchester Store new PRODUCTS. After this short spurt of MARKETING, the STORES were going downhill and they ended in a bankruptcy. Since this PAINT BROCHURE HOLDER does not appear in the 1926/27 Winchester Store catalog, we can be assured it was done for this LAST push to get some new products on the shelves of the WINCHESTER STORES!

See a full description of the #274W on pp.292 on the 1927 Catalog. "Heavy Tin Case "15 1/4 high x 11 1/4 wide x 4 3/4 deep". Winchester Gray Finish, with BLACK and RED lettering and Striping. Four sections, Wood bottom-holes for handging. You can read every word that is printed on the front of this display, its just a little faded-not ruined!

I have only seen one other of these displays and it was faded like this one. Was in the Sun too long, but its ALL ORIGINAL, no restoration of any kind. For the WINCHESTER STORE Paint and Varnish Collector this is great way to show off your colllection of "COLOR CARDS"-very, very rare!

(Side #1)-shows the W.J.R.C. club shooting OUTDOORS and from both the SITTING and PRONE POSITION. Both END PANELS are really great (featuring 4 different Winchester .22 rifles in a crossed pattern). You will find these end panels sometimes and they look great in a WJRC collection, but it is much harder to find the entire, complete 5-panel set!

The reverse side (side #2, Summer 1923)-Titled "Five TOOL SCENCES"-shows a typical 1920 house being trimmed in WINCHESTER WHITE PAINT. Both side are MINT, no restoration of any kind, no tears, no fading, no nothing!

(Side-#1)-Titled "LARGE PAINT CAN"-shows a GIANT GALLON of GREEN #1031 PAINT which covers the entire 3 center panels. A dripping paint brush is laying on top of the gallon paint can. Highlighting the center three panels is "WINCHESTER" in Giant red STAGGERED LETTERS. The end panels show more cans of Winchester VARNISH and PAINT. It hard to make cans of PAINT and WARNISH appealing but they did a pretty good job!

(Side-#2)-Titled "LARGE HAND SAW", is even more in demand by the TOOL/SAW/OLD TRUSTY collectors. THe center three (3) panels shows a classic WINCHESTER "OLD TRUSTY" saw and the famous Winchester logo in the background (the Philip R. Goodwin work, which is known as the Winchester "HORSE and RIDER"). This is a very colorfull display, with a rarely seen "Old Tusty" HANG TAG.

The center panel is very desirable but in this case, the End Panel are really sought after! One END PANEL shows 6 Winchester BRACES (#3503--#3512--#3523--#3533--#3543--#3602), and the other END PANEL shows the a very scarce #9610 "break-down" STEEL SQUARE with case and key. Also a #9811 WOOD LEVEL, a wood #9776 marking gauges and a metal one #9778. The only appearance of the highly sought after #9405 ZIG-ZAG ruler and four other FOLDING RULERS- #9532--#9504--#9568--#9518. Also included is a #3578 BIT EXTENSION, two different TRY SQUARES #9718 and #9726, a #9779 BUTT GAUGE and a #9766 T-BEVEL. This is the only panel that displays some of these items and the whole set of five panels is in great demand.

These end panels have the famous red "WINCHESTER" in STAGGERED SCRIPT which enhances their worth. You can see that this set is in MINT condition, with no restoration of any kind. This complete set is rarer than most would imagine, but I am selling all the 5-panels sets so here goes another RARE ONE!

Both end panels advertise Winchester "VARNISH" and "PAINT" with different stacks of ROUND CANS and SQUARE CANS.

Both end panels have their own red STAGGERED LETTERS and show Winchester STEEL GOODS. LOOK closely there are some rare items pictured-(The Winchester GARDEN CULTIVER/twice with different attachments and that 3 prong WEEDING FORK. I don't think these items appear on any other 5-panel set.

(FOR SALE)-"Winchester Store-FOOTBALL and FOOTBALL Equipment"

A rare and MINTY set of WINCHESTER FOOTBALL SHOULDER PADs-#3203. The GRAY FELT is the original color and is not pulled apart. This is all original, just like in the catalog and for a item that takes a beating it is in remarkable condition. The Winchester mark on the collar reads "Winchester-trademark-3203". So this would date before 1924 and this entire line was closed down in 1927. So very limited production and a very good "cross" collectible for any Winchester or SPORTS collection. Sorry for the camera Flash, all the lettering is very well stamped and clear.$sold

A genuine, untouched, non-restored WINCHESTER FOOTBALL-sold only during "THE WINCHESTER STORE" era 1920/1930. This double stiched, pebble grain SHEEP SKIN LEATHER football was sold for ONE MONTH ONLY, in September, 1922 as a special Promotion. It can be seen in the Sales Service Bulletin Sept.7-13, 1922, but does not appear in any of the regular "TWS" catalogs.

As you can imagine, this is very rare, I have seen less than a dozen in my years of collecting all kinds of WINCHESTER Sports items. This is the only SEPTEMBER SPECIAL that I have ever seen, it has been in my collection since 1994!. It has a especially clear mark "Winchester-trade mark-MADE in U.S.A-SEPTEMBER-SPECIAL", in quite remarkable overall condition, since this is right in the center of the ball. I have never touched this ball, it is stuffed with some kind of foam rubber padding material (not well done at all, and if it was carefully redone this would really improve its appearance. This ball has been used (probably on a sandlot which would have been typical of that time) and its shows wear. I have tried to show all four panels and both ends. The ends show the most wear, from hiking the ball repeatedly. The ball could be restuffed and perhaps the leather reconditioned, but I leave that to the new owner. The leather itself is in excellant shape, it has not gotten stiff, flaked or dried out, like you see on most leather balls that are almost 100 years old and used by KIDS in less than ideal conditions. I am selling this one, and that leaves me with only ONE LEFT in my lifetime collection! It has been years since I have seen one for sale, Much rarer that anything you see on EBAY or in a Auction!

The panel on BASKETBALL SUPPLIES, shows a BASKETBALL, BASKETBALL SHORTS and KNEE BRACE. Each of these panels has a very prominate "WINCHESTER" in red staggered script Letters at the top. Since this side can't be shown readily, I have furnished some pictures from the "RARITIES" book that give you a idea of that side. This is the set used for the "RARITIES" book, so you are looking at the real "thing"!

(side-#2)-Titled "SHOTGUNS and SHELLS"-this side is just as desirable if not more so, since it also has individual Panels, (again with the red "STAGGERED SCRIPT LETTERS" and (2) of the most popular Winchester SHOTGUNS ever produced-(a Model 12, a Model 97, and the only cutaway panel of a Model 12 that was ever used on a 5 panel set. In addition the both end panels have neat pictures of Winchester "REPEATER" brand SHOTSHELLS. (NOTE)-this is a NICKLE STEEL Model 1912, and before 28 gauge was introduced! If you look hard you might find a individual panel of the guns, and even rarer you might find the center 3 panels, but to find a complete 5 panel set is truly rare, and they just don't come up for sale, the collectors keep them.

THis is another of my best conditioned 5-panel sets, its MINT on both sides, No restoration, just truly great piece. I currently have it mounted on White acid-free foam board with the GUN side facing out. I have pictures of the other side, it is MINT ALSO, but will ship it either on the foam board or just the panels themselves, your choice!

In the bag I see a very rare SCOOTER, M-90, Hockey Stick, Pocket Knife, Boxing Gloves, Plane, Basketball, two GOLD Scissors, full box of bits, a razor strop and a rare KITCHEN KNIVE SET.The only problem is this is so rare that only a few of the really dedicated Winchester advertising collectors know of its existence. The end panels are sometimes seen, they each show a long list of WINCHESTER STORE gift ideas, including some WJRC (Wincheser Junior Rifle Corp) items. I have only seen two complete sets of these and bought the only one I ever had a chance to purchase (it was from a private buyer and took 8 years to do the "DEAL".

"Winchester Store BASEBALL, and BASEBALL EQUIPMENT"-ca.1923/29-(for sale!)

-(ca.1926/27)-a very rare Winchester Store BASEBALL BAT BAG, in almost NEW Condition. This (2) capacity BAT BAG is shown on pp.197 of the 1926/27 WINCHESTER STORE Product catalog. It is made of Khaki canvas with Football leather end and trimming. In excellent condition with BOLD black lettering on the bag which reads "WINCHESTER-trade mark-MADE MIUSA-#1935".

This is in total original condition, never touched, no restoration of any kind, I even resisted applying some SADDLE SOAP on the leather tops and bottoms so that it would be TOTALLY CORRECT. AS the many photo's show all flaps and buckles work, it looks like was only used a time or two.

I am amazed that this has survived in this condition. Although I am sure more (2) capacity Baseball BAT BAGS were sold than the larger (10) varity, I would think that their individual use would have been rougher on them. This one is MINTY, very little wear on the very edges and not dirty from being thrown down on the PLAY FIELD. A real find!

Lots of collectors have the BATS, some have the BALLS, but how many have the "Winchester Store BASEBALL BAT BAGS"?

In the March 27, 1924 Sales Service Bulletin, V#5 No.13, THE WINCHESTER STORE Headquaters sent instructions to all "Winchester Stores" on how to build these plywood signs (this one is made from some type of heavy cardboard. I suspect a very limited number of stores actually build one for these for the NATIONAL CAMPAIGN, and even fewer survived! I think this one was build with parts of Wooden shipping crate and a few old nails. This is the only one I have seen in my 35 years of collecting Winchester items. I can't believe something like this has survivied but it is one NEAT OLD piece of Winchester BASEBALL advertising. I bought this back in 1997 and have resisted selling it until now!

Underneath that oval on a single line it reads "LOUISVILLE SLUGGER" and the bottom two lines read "USED and ENDORSED by the-BATTING HEROES of all AGES". This a classic piece which highlights any BAT COLLECTION.

Has some very limited repairs (pegs, etc.) but still a very valuable piece. I am posting many pictures so you can see the (13) replacement wooden pegs, and the one metal rod.

This is a extremely rare Winchester Cathers Glove that would escape the eye of most WINCHESTER or SPORTS collectors. This is more that a normal Winchester Cathers Glove-it is marked on the outside of the THUMB "ITS A WINCHESTER". I believe this is a one year Advertising campaign (most likely early 1922/23)-as Winchester was introducing its entire BASEBALL line of goods. I have two of these CATHERS GLOVE and also one BASEMEN'S glove and one 5 finger FIELDER'S glove (all marked the same way on the THUMB). I have asked other collectors if they have seen or know of any. No results yet. In all other aspects this is a normally marked WINCHESTER CATCHERS GLOVE, it has the buckle-back (intact) and the place where the cloth tag would be (clearly visible). In the palm I can see last several letters of the "WINCHESTER", plus part of "TRADEMARK" and most of the DIAMOND is also visible. I tried to get good pictures of these markings on the palm and of the "ITS A WINCHESTER" but they are not satisfactory. You can see most of the "ITS A WINCHESTER" on the thumb, but part of it is tucked up under a fold in the leather. Its totally original, not retouched, the sewing and lacing are as is (untouched). Guaranteed to be all original, but very much unrecognized and under appreicated for its true rarity!$1,500

(htt)

(ca.1923/26) WINCHESTER BASEMEN'S GLOVE in outstanding original condition. Has been used, but the leather is soft, has all the original lacing, buckleback and cloth sign. A great piece for any WINCHESTER or SPORTS collection. If you need better or more photo's please let me know.$375

(ca.1924/26) Winchester 5 finger GLOVE in remarkable original condition. There are lots of gloves around, but it is much harder to find one that has no splits in the leather (or anywhere), all the stiching is complete, not broken or repaired (anywhere). The lining on the back of the hand is complete, the BALL WEB is solid leather and not repaired. The best part is the very visible mark in the "SWEET SPOT" of the glove which is totally there "Winchester-Trademark-made in usa-BASEBALL SPECIAL-8159-Genuine Horshhide." These gloves were for a SPECIAL PROMOTION and so marked (note since marked "made in usa") we know it is after 1924. THe leather is soft and piable and the lacing at the bottom of the glove is complete, no restoration of any kind. I did not take the best of pictures, can furnish more if needed.$550

(ca.1923)-Selling my entire Winchester Bat collection. Includes at least one of every MODEL, including the very rare EARLY EDITIONS.

These 3 bats are one of the earliest and rarest of all WINCHESTER BASEBALL BATS. These are shown only in the Winchester "SPORTSMEN HEADQUARTERS" confidental Price list, dated 1-1-1923. These are so scrace that there is little definitive information about them. Believed to have been made by KERN Co., Sycrause, N.Y. They do not appear in the 1922 or 1924 catalogs. So these PLAYERS BATS, sold for retail, not game used, are so rare most Winchester collectors are not even aware of them.

All three bats are KRENS SPECIAL (the top of line). One is marked "KJD model "for Jake Daubert", another marked the "KML model for M. LOBERT" and of course the last one is "KBR model for BABE RUTH". Have seen very few of these.

(ca.1922)-Selling my entire Winchester Bat collection. Includes at least one of every MODEL, including the very rare EARLY EDITIONS.

These three (3) bats are actually the earlist WRACo. produced bats! The Winchester Repeating Arms Co. merged with SIMMONS HARDWARE in 1922 and in that deal came ownership of "ROANOKE SPOKE and WHEEL CO." This company continued to produce bats for Winchester ie. THE WINCHESTER STORES until the plant burned down in 1925, at which time the production was moved the the WRACo. plant in New Haven, Conn.

The first bat shown is ("BR 120A--Babe Ruth), the second is ("BK 120A xxx") and the third is ("TC 130B---TY COBB'). The "A" stands for "HIGHEST QUAILITY", the "B" for "SECOND QUALITY" and "C" for "THIRD QUALITY". These bats appear only in the 1922 "Winchester SPRING ATHLETIC GOODS" catalog, which I think was the only year of production. These are quite scarce.

(ca.1925/26) This (Kids/Youth) WINCHESTER Five FINGER GLOVE is in outstanding original condition considering how hard kids beat up their Sports Equipment and abused it-leaving it outdoors etc. This has the original soft leather, all the original stiching, pading etc. and a intact FINGER/BALL WEB. Has a great "Wincheser" button, a mint "Winchester" cloth tag and the best "sweet spot" mark I have on any glove in my collection. You can see in the picture that the entire WINCHESTER-Trademark, the DIAMOND and the product number #2141 is very clear. A great piece for any WINCHESTER or SPORTS collection. Untouched, no restoration.$550

ONE of the best WINCHESTER BASEBALL CATHERS MASK'S I have seen. These MASKS got used (heavily in every game, every inning, every pitch) so usually you find either repairs, something missing or extremely heavy use. THis model #2205,(which can be found on p.198 of the 1926/27 Winchester Product catalog, is completely original. Note-the chin strap is fully intact and attached with its original rivits and the same for the head pad and buckle. Usually the side and top FACE PADS are missing, but these 5 pads are still there, as is the 3 strap head attachment and a great WINCHESTER CLOTH tag. Again very hard to find in this condition.$850

(side-#1)-shows a neat BASEBALL "Action" scene. The Runner has slid into home, the CATCHER has the ball, the UMPIRE is in postion-"BUT" is he SAFE or OUT? (a side note)-THis is the only END PANEL I know of that has "THE WINCHESTER STORE" in bold letters in the middle of the panel. You can find the three center panels sometimes but the entire 5-panel set is very hard to acquire.

(side-#2)-displays a "active and attractive" WHITE HAIRED women using various Winchester STORE Products-"PEN KNIVES"-POCKET KNIVES"-"KITCHEN KNIVES"-"PARING KNIVES", with the slogan "KEEN-lasting edges".

(March 15-21, 1923)-one of the great Winchester 5-panel sets, and in very HIGH DEMAND, it is one of the top "10" sets because of the Classic Subject material on both sides. Each individual panel (on both sides), is marked with the red "WINCHESTER" in STAGGERED SCRIPT LETTERS. This is very hard to collect as a complete set, because the end panels are usually missing (in seperate collections) , and very pricy in their own right! Shown in the Winchester "RARITIES" book-pp.135

(side-#1)-displays a really great scene of a FLY FISHERMAN who has caught his trout, with a Winchester FLY ROD and Reel. Both END PANELS display some other great Winchester FISHING TACKLE-(I think DRY TROUT FLIES appear on only one other panel set).

(side-#2)-THis side is also very, very collectible. It features a Baseball pitcher delivering his best stuff to the waiting batter, with the catcher and umpire in postion also. A great classic scene with a old style Baseball GRANDSTAND in the background and you can also spot two of the infielders! Look closely and you can see this is a WINCHESTER BASEBALL TEAM, the famous red "W" on the baseball cap and note it is also PRINTED on the OUTFIELD WALL. Also note the PC incorrect AD for cigerattes! Both END PANELS show Winchester BASEBALL EQUIPMENT-Bats, Balls, all style of Gloves, catcher's mask and chest protector! (some Winchester collectors just take one panel and try to get all the items shown on the panel-it makes for a nice small collection). The Condition is MINT, with no restoration of any kind! If I had to pick my personal favorite, this would probably be it! It rare and complete, but it is going "out the door"!
