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.

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¢!
