I think that would certainly qualify for the advanced Savage collector!

Wasn't there a guy here from upstate New York someplace who had a bizarre collection of Savage non-gun gizmos?

I'd like to find some of their vintage ads, specifically one saying "this one's my favorite" or words to that effect..

I've got that one for the 99 in a frame. It was a 1945'ish ad, and it is my favorite ad. It shows up on eBay quite often.

Here's a pic of it from https://themonocular.com/article/10-vintage-gun-adverts-for-hunters-from-the-40s-and-50s/

I like that ad! Makes me want to wear tweed with a pocket hanky and smoke a briar pipe. It should be the dress code for all Savage get-togethers.

That's the one and I absolutely concur.! So I'm in the market for one!

Maybe we could re-work the Savage washer ringer to be a printing press for repro Savage ads! You know how tinkerbells love challenge! Where are You Leverlover?

I like those old "Ten shots quick" pistol ads, featuring women in defensive roles.

Hmmm, is that a 420 sitting in the gun rack behind Mr. Tweed?

Nope - on second look its a side by side.

Yea. Actually met the man once. He was from Port Lyden, NY. He had washing machines, lawn mowers, kitchen appliances, all kinds of Savage gizmos. Bout everything Savage cept guns.

Be damned if I can remember his name or call sign though...

At one of your get togethers someone is going to have to set up a table with a display of Savage made washing machines and lawn mowers.

There was a washing machine at the last one, and I think we've seen most of the rest.. though not when you get into the auto side of their stuff.

It would need to be set up permanently in a carni trailer with fold-down sides. That kind of display would be a PIA to move around and set up from fest to fest.

...hmmm, I have an old trailer that's not being used... think a subaru would pull a 25' Avion filled with washing machines and mowers and rifles? Air shocks maybe..
