and a nice house was in the $5k neighborhood. $50-100 in 1943 was a BUNCH of money! I remember my Grandfather telling me of going to the bank and borrowing $15 to buy a couple work mules before the war.

What would a flat top .44 Russian bring today? A bunch, no doubt, tens of thousands.

Too rich for me.
