WHOA!! To drop $5500 in a single order for guns in 1955 would have been something very few individuals could have done. This was one SERIOUS collector! Keep in mind that the same $5500 in 1955 dollars would have bought a nice starter home or about 3 average new cars back then. I would have loved to have seen the whole collection in one place at one time... this would have been a very impressive sight at any time or place.
