Gentlemen,
I picked up a copy of "The RugerMania Album" Vol. l, No. I, Inaugural Issue by Jim Cale. It is a grey two pocket folder with Silver Foil cover. On the inside front pocket is a Gold Foil sticker which is numbered #49 and
signed "James G. Cale" Signature Issue.
Inside the front pocket are six "Ruger Cartoons" hand drawn by artist
Rik Villegas. These were the first of six in a series of forty-two.
The cover of the Album its self is dated 4/18/83 and signed "To Edward F.
Rockstroh (?) by Jim Cale. Inside is an Introduction page followed by
Two short very humorous articles, then a very informative article on
Ruger Eagle Ceramic Ash Trays & Steins (RCA). The next section is called
"Eaglebeak, Do You Know? which discusses Super Bearcat's in the
91-33000 - 91-37300 range, "five" different variations of ROA
nipple wrenches, Colorado Centennials, Italian Walnut auto pistol grips,
and the one I found most interesting Gold Mining Pans with a Logo very similar to the Colorado Centennial one. They were serial #ed and the editor owned #'s 2335 & 2336, he was trying to find out who made and
distributed them. This was followed by a Survey & Traders Cornor. There
are 22 pages front to back.
In the rear folder pocket were a RCA Membership Application & merchandise order form, a four page "Wilsons World" Custom Ruger
Belt Buckle order form, an order form for Dougans new book (then) "Know you Ruger single Action Revolvers 1953-1963" and last but not least a two page listing of guns for sale by Leo Shuck.
Can anyone tell me just how long this publication ran and Volumes were written? I would appreciate any info you "Old RCA" guys :lol: might have.
Thanks for looking & your help in advance.
