It was given to me. I am not sure what it is

as a kid at my grandparents I used to look througha 1909 sears and row buck catalog and drool over the 12$ double barrels in it. I was youn and didn't know anything about inflation or that they got sent to your house directly.
Sadly I'm sure all those old things ended up in the dumpster. I took a lot of stuff out of that dumpster when I saw it. Could not believe what my aunts an cousins threw away. I thought it was odd I was the only one that knew the history ot the old furniture and rest of the things there.
Years later I heard one of my aunts bragging about how she got $1500 out of the Nazi officers uniform my grandpa brought back. Let's say I was no talking to her after how my grandmother was treated but she had the power of attorney. Hope I never see her again

I think this a catalog for mail order but the first 8 pages are missing. Has a bunch of guns listed, scopes, reloading equipment, knives, swords and cleaning stuff

if you run the inflation calculation on that the new American made Model 70 is actually less expensive
180 dollars in 1954 money is 2099.03 dollars in 2024 money
I remember my old neighbor complaining his new roof cost more than he paid for the entire house
he had paid 8000 dollars to his father in law in 1961 the full tear off and new roof on the house and garage was going to run him 9K
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
