I like the price range...from $5-$75...wonder what the differences were from entry model to deluxe?

Cool thing is company was way ahead of their time...for men & women + boy's & girls...

Thanks Bob...really neat.

Edit add: Curious how many might have survived 100 years

$5.00 was probably more than  a weeks wages then,so $75.00 was close to 4 months wages, is my guess.

 Look at the first page in the 1884 catalog " Grand Chance".

Just keep sending money & I'll let you know when you have enough.

Thats called no risk credit for the seller, or Trust me by the seller. Maybe Fat Chance.
