Weed & Co.

[weaselmeatgravy]

I just sold this Single Six to a forum pal. Thought I would share the 1954 dated sales receipt before it gets shipped away.

Something tells me that company is either no longer around, or has changed its name by now to avoid crank calls.

Or, maybe they've 'branched out' to include a more diverse inventory.....

Neat!
I always enjoy old paperwork like that.

Sadly,,,I'm SURE in todays world,, there would be a lot of different attitudes about that name.

Looks like 1962 on the receipt to me.

That's Clerk #62. The date above is just 11/15 with no year.

Looks like the buyer put $10 down on 11/15 and then another $10 for the note in orange.

The PAID stamp just below 38.08 is what actually has the full date of "DEC 20 1954".

Just in time for Christmas

According to the invoice that's one of those ultra-rare 6" Single-Sixes. :wink: :wink: :wink:

Edited . . . see below.

According to the invoice that's one of those ultra-rare 6" Security-Sixes.

Single Six, but yeah, über-rare 6"

Ruger fixed that problem later by putting barrel lengths on the end of the boxes
