I was the successful bidder on this LBH catalog. It is in very nice condition although i wouldn't call it "mint". The 1931 price list was included.

First Fox

I purchased my first Fox shotgun this weekend, a 20ga Utica Sterlingworth, 26" barrels, ejector gun. Chokes appear to be cylinder and modified. It also has dual sight beads and a non-original recoil pad. Serial No. 2635XX indicates a late 1929 gun? I will be requesting a Callahan letter but may...
