Dixie Bess Pedersoli Kit from the Past!

Came across the catalog clipping I saved when I ordered a kit from Dixie about at least 20 years ago! (Not dated, which I usually try to do); they had a sale on Pedersoli Brown Bess kits, normally 950, but on sale for 650! I got it and sat on it for years until one day being moved to assemble it! Just imagine being able to buy one for that money now! But back then, 650 was still a lot! I would advise anyone to save paperwork, receipts, and dates for stuff in case you need a reference in the future.

I got news[aper from Dixie and there was a Pedersoli Brown Bess Carbine from Dixie kit…it was on close out for $200.00. Wish I’d’ve bought 5 of them…

Wow! When was that, during the Spanish-American War?? That REALLY pre-dates me! Yes, what an investment that could have been!
