I picked up a Glenfield 75C. I was just interested in finding out what thier price was when first marketed. If anyone can recall. Thanks in advance!!

$23.00 was most likely the MSRP in 1970

That's about $135 2011 dollars.

Your serial number should tell you the age. I can't recall if it is the first tow or last two numbers....subtract them from 100 and you get the year of mfg.

My best guess is $49.95 in 1967, that's the Marlin price, Glenfields might have been cheaper. This from Google Books is pretty unorganized and hard to follow, but it's all I could find in a hurry.
