Iver Johnson 1871-1971 4-Gun set

m.j.ryan
I just acquired a set of 4, different models of unfired I-J .22 rimfire revolvers. They are in a walnut case, with cert of authenticity signed by the then president of I-J. How many of these were made and what is the possible value?
Thanks, Mike

    100th YEAR COMMEMORATIVE FOUR GUN CASE SET
    1971 only
    SET CONTAINS 1 EACH OF THE FOLLOWING: MODEL 50A SIDEWINDER, MODEL55A TARGET, MODEL 57A TARGET and MODEL 67 VIKING
    Only 450 of these case sets were manufactured, all the revolvers in them were serial numbered the same except for the letter code identifying the model:
    Model 50 Sidewinder E letter code
    Model 55A Target H letter code
    Model 57A Target J letter code
    Model 67 Viking A letter code
    Serial number started at one and went to 450. All models are bright blue finish, with white plastic grips that have gold colored Owl's head at top; Each is marked on the lower right side of the frame with serial number and the upper right of frame with 1871 - 1971
    VALUE: 100% with all papers $1000 60%=$600

    100th YEAR COMMEMORATIVE SINGLE GUN CASED SET
    1971 only
    An unlimited number of single gun case sets were made up using the same Models as in the Four gun set, the finish and grips were the same, the only difference was in the case. The, single guns came in a metal box with a vinyl covering. Serial numbers started at 451 (with a letter code of the model). The individual models were the same as came in the four gun cased set.
    MODEL 50A SIDEWINDER, MODEL 55A TARGET, MODEL 57A TARGET and MODEL 67 VIKING
    VALUE: if in 100% condition still with box and all papers $300 otherwise same as regular production of these models

    most of these sets will have the inside lining replaced as iver johnson used a green foam that was prone to oil damage, it started comming apart when it came in contact with gun oil so very few if any will be in 100% condition. there was a key that is usually lost, a 1971 catalog, that gave a history of the company and a certificate signed by iver johnson's great grandson, the president of the company in 1971.
