Old Magazine Ads

I was over to friends house talking Guns and so on and he gave me some old American rifleman magazines, and shooting times magazines more interesting than the articles are the advertisements in there. Here’s some from the American rifleman from 1930.

Meateater Podcast has mentioned an old ammo add that shows a hunter doing a grip and grin with a mountain gorilla. Anyone ever seen that one?

Few I stumbled across today on IG. Everything here would be $330-$650 adjusted for inflation today.

Does anybody remember the of Bank of Boulder adds in magazines where you could deposit money in a CD and they would give you a new Weatherby upfront instead of any interest at the end?

Remembering back to the 70s/80s when banks would offer you a firearm in lieu of interest...somehow I don't see that quite happening again lol

Not from a magazine but a few years back I found this going through some of my Pops stuff....think it was from the 40s or 50s (since that's when he logged in Washington) prices have gone up just a touch!
