Take a look at the brochure below. At first glance it looks like a page that has been cut out of the American Rifleman Magazine. That in it's self, would be a good find as it was only put into one issue, the April 1956 American Rifleman. It could have been used in other magazines but I don't know for sure. As for the Rifleman, that was the only issue.
Look in the lower left hand corner, you will see "Printed in the U.S.A." and the code "CE-5M-4/56" What you are looking at is a brochure that Ruger sent to dealers to advertise the Engraved Single-Six. THIS WAS NOT CUT OUT OF A MAGAZINE, THIS IS THE REAL THING.
I was at a gun show in North Carolina in the 1980s and while walking around I saw a Ruger Old Model 7 1/2 in. bl. 45 box, with some gun parts in it. I ask the guy if he would sell the box, and he said all I needed to do was find any kind of a box to replace it and I could have the box, for free. As it turned out, I had nothing on my table that I could use and , feeling that someone else would come by and take it out from under me, I offered to give him $5.00 for it. I didn't want to offer more as he didn't know what he had and if I offered him 20 or 25 dollars for it, as that was the going price then. He might think it was worth something, and not sell it to me until he found out for sure what it was worth. As it turned out he couldn't empty the parts out fast enough to get the $5.00 out of my sweaty hands. He also ask me if I was interested in some Ruger paperwork and some boxes. I said yes, and we settled on a price, I can't remember for sure but I think it was $10.00, no more then $20.00. As he had this at his home he had to mail it to me. When it came, there were a couple of Old Model 357 Boxes and one Ruger Muzzle Break Box with the pin still in it. But the best part was about 25 or 30 of those Engraved Single-Six brochures. I sold a bunch of them at Monroeville Ruger Show, and what I had left, I sold them the Chad.
So if you are lucky to have one of those Engraved Single-Six brochures it probably came from me.
