Some time, probably years ago, there was a Sporting Goods and Toy store in the San Fernando Valley area of California. If you looks at closely at the price tag on the 38 special you can see the “SPT. GOODS & TOYS” in fine print. I guess they sold both toys and sporting goods together. My neighbor gave me the boxes of sells and cartridges. There is no telling how old they are, unless you can remember picking up a box of 50 38 special cartridges for $4.85.
Nonetheless, I think both the era of cheap ammunition and a “Sporting Good & Toy Store” in the state of California are a thing of the past, long past.
