I was just given a partial case (box & some targets) of fifty? year old clays. Are there any collectors interested in these?

For sale?

Or donate to collection

Could be much older, or not.

I have the 1889 Empire Trap in my collection, but not the targets. Would be interested in a few IF for sale at some point.

MY understanding is there was one earlier version of the Empire Trap made in 1895, but that trap has been elusive to me.

I am a collector and would like t chat.

shotgunpeople, you would have liked to sit in the gun room and look through "stuff". Still have some of it but a lot of it went to other "caretakers".

Jimmy Bowen helped my collection grow as well.

It's good to know that they went to good homes and are appreciated. Some wonderful items from years ago.
As I type this I am looking at a Bogardus Glass Ball, Dupont Long Run Medals, 3 Trophy Watches and a Ligowsky Target. Good thing I have a big desk.

Beautiful Jimmy.

Although I am not flush with money, I do enjoy looking at the lovely collections you guys have.

Amazing how many of the old relics are probably sitting in attics just waiting to be thrown away by family members who have no idea how much we would love to have them to enjoy.

Thanks for sharing pictures of your collections guys.

I

have a couple of these. Italian make. I cannot remember the brand. Olympic trap from bunker Martinez,CA. I also have a few of Eclipse targets wrapped in newspaper.

Thanks for the photos. I`m thinking around 1950`s... The newspaper that the targets are wrapped in should have a date listed...
