It was a different world. What were wages and what opportunities to steady work did one have in 1890? The appendix in the book Holland The Royal Gunmaker list 1890's big bores at 40 to 60 guineas. That would be 6 to 12 months wages for the average worker and that wage would reflect little to no disposable income with working 6 day weeks 10 hour days.
