Well, the early one got too close to a buffing wheel, but it seems to have clean (if not refinished) wood; still not a bad buy for the two.

Agreed,
but to me that's all the money for a couple of shooters.
As Phil says, condition is everything

What a great looking dog!

In the 1940's if you sold a wagon-load of cloverline salve they would give you a Stevens Favorite. Mom & Dad ended up buying a lot of salve.  Ledball

Back in the good ole' days, some fur buyers would send you a Stevens boys rifle as payment for the furs you shipped to them. Some made a few different Stevens models available, and you could get the better model Stevens rifle by sending in a higher values worth of fur.

Another Stevens advertisement.  All the companies went all out in the Shooting and Fishing "Christmas Number."
