Blackhawk b.b. game

Post by rpm enterprises »

Going through some old pictures when I made the calendars I come across these photos. Anyone remember this promotion Ruger did for the Blackhawk.

Rick,
I remember seeing a few pictures of those, there were other colors I think.
Have never seen one for sale, neat little skill game.

Speaking of your calendars, you ought to post a few pictures of those for the guy's. The photos were truly worth framing!!
I always bought two each year, wish you could have continued them !

Terry, I have another that is a different variation but I'm not sure about the color. I should try and find it our see if I have a picture of it. Thank you on the great compliment about the Callenders. Those helped fund the Ruger display shows I did out here. I recall I did those about eight years give or take.

Alas, these have eluded me for quite some time. Very cool memorabilia piece there that is certainly on my wish list.

There were actually (2) variations of this little rare gem. (1) is shown here. The other variation had a single row of holes along the bottom for the bb's.
I USED to have both variations. But,, alas,, I allowed another collector talk me out of one,, in a trade,, and later,, he got out of Ruger collecting. Never knew where it went.

I have displayed my bb game a few times at past ROCS shows. When someone actually realizes what it is,, they are always surprised to figure it out.

The good part is with the sticker on the back,, we know when it was made.
