When I was thirteen years old my dad said to me one day Son you need to go down to City Hardware they have something for you. What is it Dad? Well son go and see. It was about two blocks and I was running with all I had thinking about a new n knife, maybe a bb gun or what? What was it a new Fox Double Barrel 410. Still have the gun but have lost Dad. I pray he watching his Great Grandsons hunting and fishing.I could tell of all kind of things that happened in my life time might wright a book, Yea righ papa

That's a great keepsake that you have. I've always wanted one but never forked over the cash. I bet there's no telling how many critters you've taken with it.

Cool story and memory there Geezer.

Good memory, I got an old sxs .410 made in 1915. My son is only 5 days old but one day I'll pass it down to him!

Thanks for sharing with us Mr. Bobby. That's a great memory.

cool

Geezer you ought to write it all down. One day your grandsons will read your stories and you will be right there with them. My mother wrote the story of her life. Lots of stuff in there I never knew about her, my father and my family.

Good story Geezer. I wish you'd post one a day. I love reading them when you do.

Yes sir great story my Dad gave me his A5 Browning before he passed. He was born in 1919 and paid 79.00 for it. Keep those memories coming.

Nice Geezer.

Thanks for sharing Mr Bobby. Still got that corn planter I bought from you a few years ago. About time to use it!

Well written, Bobby. I had a Fox, dbl. 410. When I moved up to a 16, we traded it in to save some $. Really think that if I had it now, I'd sleep with it at night. Good story.

Dang good idea. I'd give anything for something like that from my grandparents.

Always good to hear your stories, Geezer!

I have a 410 with rabbit ears that belonged to my grandfather who said it belonged to his father. HR Harrington. Great condition, was offered $3000 for it a couple years ago but I wouldn't part for 10 times that much. I'm 73 so you can only guess how old it is.

Great story, I have my Grandfathers 12g sxs and someday it'll belong to one of my grandsons

The coolest part of this story to me is that Bobby was able to walk by himself to the Hardware Store and pick up the gun (downtown Greensboro I'm guessing) at such a young age and walk home with the gun.

Imagine the stir that a young man walking through town there now would cause.
