ANSWER R. Fleckenstein, Woodstown, N.J.,
wanted information on a double barrel Paragon Mod
el CSI2 gauge shot gun that he has. How old is it and
it’s value? Thanks to Philip Wiegle, Pottstown, who
writes that according to Jane’s Guns Recognition
Guide, the name Paragon was a store brand name
used by a hardware or sporting goods store that had
its trade mark stamped on guns made by another
manufacturer. Gums sold under the Paragon trade
mark were actually made by the J. Stevens Arms
Company, which was purchased by Savage Arms
Corp. in 1920.
According to Fjestad's Blue Book of Gun Values,
18th edition, the Savage/Stevens model CS shotgun
was an inexpensive, utilitarian-grade firerm. There is
no collector interest, so its value would depend on
shooting condition. Values on guns of this type typi
cally range between $5O to $175, depending on rarity
and condition. Approximately 87,500 model CS shot
guns were made from 1926 to 1945, so it is not rare.
ANSWER For Mae Stancill of Bel Air, Md., Eli
Jay Esh, Ronks, sends the words to the following
song. He writes that he has remembered it from hear
ing his mother and older sisters singing it.
Mother’s Only A Sleeping
/ left my old home, way back in the mountains/My
mother was called, to Heaven one day/They carried my
mother, up to the graveyardlEverything’s lonesome since
she went away.
Chorus:
Mother’s not dead, she’s only a sleeping!Just patiently
waiting for Jesus to come/The birds will be singing, while
mother lies sleeping/They will sing lower as the grave
sinks away.
Nothing seems right around the old homeplacelbven
the place where we used to play! I still love my old home,
way back in the mountainslEverythings changed, since
she went away.
Mother was good, and now she's in heavenJShe was the
best pal a friend ever had/I love my old home, way back in
the mountain!Since Mother is gone our hearts are so sad.
