I got nothing so I scanned a Sears catalog from 1908. $15 for a pocket hammerless. Sheesh. And $.90 per magazine...
I was LOOKING for old typewriters. Hmph.
Impressive

You have to wonder if the shooter had any clue as to what was happening. It
appears to me they may have just kept shooting until the gun failed to
chamber ...

That $15 is about $350 in todays money.
So it looks like things have stayed about the same.
Yeah, but that $15 dollars could have been paid with One GOLD Coin, and you could have gotten SILVER in Change. Nowadays, we pay with NEGATIVE $15 TRILLION Dollar Paper IOUs from the Federale Gooberment.
You used to be able to buy a brand-new Colt's Peacemaker for a shiny $20 gold coin.
Nowadays you still can. ;)
Tam beat me to it, kinda sorta... It would actually take about THREE $20 gold coins for a Peacemaker today (if it was a gen 1)...
Old NFO,
Well, I meant an ounce of gold for a new Peacemaker. :o
(Although I suppose you can get a new Colt's for a bit less than MSRP...)
And Federal felonies sold for only 75¢!
