MORE ABOUT—
JOHN HUTCHINS
(Continued from page 1)
simple tools.
Hutchins lives with and
cares for his mother who
has been an invalid since a :
stroke nine years ago.
Guns were not his first ;
hobby. As an only child he 1
was often lonely, “store
bought” toys were scarce
so lie made his own, mostly I
automobiles made to scale.
He still has a number of
tjhese classy limousines
and sport models of the
early 20s made of the only
materials he had at hand—
card board and string, a
few wires, and scraps of
cloth for upholstering.
Every intricate detail was
worked out with painstak
ing-care,
.Card board cars which
served as recreation for
many hours of a lonely
young boy’s life lost all in
terest for him, however,
when he "completed that
-first gun 'and found that it
would shoot.
Guns now line all four
walls of the loft room of
the home, some are in racks
and a table holds a display j
of revolvers.
What kind of guns doesi
he have m his collection-;
Without even glancing at; :

them Hutchins can name
them all:' revolvers, auto
matic pistols, single shot
rifles, (a) with rolling
block, <b> with lever action
(c I with bolt action; re
peaters, trombone or pump
| action repeaters i.ai with
bolt action with clip maga
zine, tb) bolt action with
j tubular magazine, auto
matic loader with clip ma
gazine, muzzle loaders of
; all types, single shot pis
tols, single and double bar
rel shot guns, revolvers in
single and double action,
[revolvers in break ' open
and swing, with square and
round handles. ,
What makes? They are
■ of both American and for
eign manufacture and he
names them’ easily: Win
chester, Remington, Mar
lin, Hamilton, Harris, Ste
vens/ Paige-Lewis, Har
ringion-Kichardson, Smith
and Wesson, Warner, Nit
ro-King, Springfield, Man
ton, Iver-Johnson, We: tern
1 Field, Premier, Ranger,
Walt her.
These are in his collec
tion; he has worked on
many other makes includ
ing a number of Swiss,
! English, German, French
land other foreign makes.
The smallesyguij^in the
[collection is a pjAtol so
small that it can be hidden

other sharp object,
the hole is sealed
immediately with
no ait loss. And . . .

DRIVE ON as
though nothing had
happened! The hole
is permanently
sealed. No flat to
fix! No repair job!
behind an 18 size pocket
watch. It is entirely hand
[made but fires a standard
factory load.
If no bullets are availab
le for a particular gun (as
is the case with some of
the foreign makes) Hutch
ins makes the bullets too.
In addition to the guns
he has several other col- ,
lections. One of these is a
small but interesting dis
play of Indian relics. He
did not gather these per
sonally, he explains. A
nearby field yields a plen
tiful supply of arrowheads
and spear points and he
'has established a unique
[“barter system”.
Because of his work and
the close care which his'
mother requires he doesn’t
go and bunt the rllics him
self. Instead he set up a
rifle range and the neigh
borhood children bring ar
rowheads and other artic
les iii exchange for target
practice with a 22 rifle!
Hutchins had a very
limited formal education,
attending the short term
grade school in his com
munity. He is extremely
well read however, with
history and scientific books
his favorite reading and
•I such magazines as The
American Rifleman his
guide for much of his work.
Needless to say all his
guns receive expert treat
ment and are cleaned and ,
polished with care.
