I would suspect you could double your money on it if you sold that 1950 model today.
Your forgeting the hyperinflation of the 70's and 80's when inflation was in the double digits.
I remember getting 10% interest on my CD's and home loans were up to 15% interest or more
I've seen mint conditon 1950's waffletop Marlin 336's going for $500 or more.

I expect guns, guitars, and things like that of quality brands to appreciate at 3% compounded. $67 in 1967 would turn into $239 in 2010 at that rate.

I bought a 1950 Marlin 336 in May for $165.
It should be worth $167.50 by now.
