Three Foot Johnson Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I picked up a couple of NOS/NIB Marlin made 1894CB's yesterday - check out the spelling on the top box. MARLIN BOXES This is an extremely rare collector's item, and I'll sell the box to the first person who responds here for $1000. Anybody else have a Marlin box like this? That's a joke... kind of - I intentionally meant to post here and not in the classifieds, but if it's really worth anything...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Well, its obvious to me that they don't want 'Childern' having that particular rifle. (actually, I had to read it 3 times before I noticed) ..........Widder

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Just maybe that top box was printed "off-shore" That box will be one hell of a collectors item for sure. Can you tell when it was printed? Cheers, LG
Three Foot Johnson Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 The guns are NOS, and have been collecting dust in my gun room at work for nearly four years.
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 J Bar, thats like that funny looking Ruger I bought a few years ago and they mispelled the name on the box and called it a Luger...........go figure! ..........Widder
Three Foot Johnson Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 No way! Luger? Seriously? The things we sometimes think are nothing and let 'em get away, toss 'em, or shoot 'em up... About a dozen years ago, I bought a Ruger .480 SRH that was roll marked .475 Ruger AND I bought a 50 round box of ammo that was also head stamped .475 Ruger. The gun was incapable of hitting the broad side of a barn, so back it went and Ruger replaced it with a new one. The new one, of course, was marked .480 Ruger. Oh well. I still have the 50 empty .475 Ruger cases though, but tossed the cardboard box in the stove in lieu of a plastic ammo box... Agghhh! .475 RUGER CASES
Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Widder, yer excused, seein as yer from TN and a civil servant Now in Kentucky they'd cross em both out and scrawl "chillins" with a big fat crayon
Buck D. Law, SASS #62183 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 If that dern child got his hands on that gun, there's no tellin' what he might do.
Shooting Bull Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I wonder if them childern go here to get their lernin'? My link
Gus 'Buck' Silver Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Widder, Shame on you and your funny looking Ruger. I guess 3 laughing emoticons weren't enough to call attention to your sense of humor.
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Howdy Buck. Your right. I figure everyone would see the humor in that one. And I KNEW that AJ would know it was a joke. As they say down South, "If you can't take a yoke.....don't eat eggs for breakfast"..... ..........Widder
Chili Ron Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Pards, I have a ruger single six missing a flute. Best CR
Three Foot Johnson Posted July 1, 2011 Author Posted July 1, 2011 A five fluted cylinder - now that would be odd!

Subdeacon Joe Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 And somewhere on that box will be something like "Proudly Printed by John Doe and Crew" or "Printed with Pride by John Doe and Crew."
Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 I got two of them and one is missing a trumpet and the other is missing a clarinet. ..........Widder Buy ya a colt clone, guarandammteed ya get to fiddle with it
