Yeah, I sent an email to Crosman marketing about it, thinking they might want it for their museum, but, they never got back to me. Unfortunately, I forgot about posting a note here until late.Ended: May 10, 2017 , 8:00PM No bids shown either. Never saw one before.
So it's like Webley clocks, fans etc, but at least Crosman stuck to the general 'sporting goods' category... I wonder if the factory hit a slack period and had extra capacity, or was it an expansion into a potentially lucrative area?The Crosman Arms "Gym Dolly" has nothing to do with airguns, other than it was produced by Crosman Arms.
It's interesting as historical evidence of how Crosman Arms attempted to expand their product line to include non-airgun items. It makes sense since they are already in the sporting goods business with thousands of sales contacts built up over the years.
HEALTHWAYS was the outfit that was into absolutely everything to do with 'sport'! Diversification,was the name of the game.Adverts make very interesting reading.The Crosman Arms "Gym Dolly" has nothing to do with airguns, other than it was produced by Crosman Arms.

From what I understand, this was a PY Hahn operation. He had his own personal shop behind the Fairport factory. That's where the Chap Chur guns, and other Crosman oddities emerged. It is when this operation -there's a picture of this shop identified in the 75 Years of Crosman book- was described that there was mention of the Gym Dolly.So it's like Webley clocks, fans etc, but at least Crosman stuck to the general 'sporting goods' category...

For a time, Hy-Score had a very diversified line of sport products, too.HEALTHWAYS was the outfit that was into absolutely everything to do with 'sport'! Diversification,was the name of the game.Adverts make very interesting reading.
