I have not seen one like that. Legit - don't know.

Very interesting. It sure looks to have age. The fonts sure compare with catalog copy. Why would someone go to all the trouble of producing a fake, it's not a oil painting.

After sleeping on it, I think it is something someone made up to tag guns in their collection. It appears to be paper, not the oilcloth like material "real" Fox hang-tags were made from. All the "real" hang-tags I have/have pictures of, from Wayne & Bristol Streets to the last Uticas, have a brass reinforcing grommet and better string. The "real" hang-tags I know use "Length Stock" not "LOP." None of the "real" hang-tags have "Date of Mfg."

Researcher/Dave,

Great explanation. Sounds very logical.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

Dave,
my vote is a re-pop.... for the reasons that you point out and several others. "gage" spelling and "date of mfct"...... why would that be on there???
Happy Thanksgiving boys.
