[QUOTE="ronny, post: 1987473, member: 8853"] This is mine. It is an HSB & Co., a large retailer out of Chicago, sort of like a Sears of the day. This one belonged to my Grandpa and it was old when I first started hunting with it back in the 40's. As the kid in the family, it gravitated to me, and I was happy. All the rest of the family had pumps and autos, but this old single was a game-getter. Only thing I had trouble with was geese; just couldn't get out there to where they were at. I broke the firing pin when I was a teen-ager and made a new one myself. I guess I'll die with this one. Those three shells are 2 1/2" Winchester Rangers #8 shot. They are from the 30's or 40's. They've been high and dry all this time and I'm confident they'd pepper a home invader today. I'm glad I saw this thread, It brought back memories. [ATTACH=CONFIG]24430[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
