I’d give you the sticker price. 
Really, I would. And I‘d buy you a beer at the Hilltop. Maybe 2.

There was a huge amount of Manufacturing in the Mohawk Valley all along the Erie Canal; if it was made of metal and or wood, it was made there.
Clearly New York was a major producer to the War Effort in WWII, but that's history and one not likely to repeat.

I've got a 16" Oneida Limited Bayonet for my Garand that my son found in a repo'ed house he was helping to clear out.
I've been in the Oneida area most of my life and can remember the traffic coming out of Sherrill when the 3 o'clock whistle would blow at Oneida Limited. They had their own skeet shooting range set up behind the plant. I would go watch them shoot as a kid.

The Sherrill city police have very little to do. Come back and get yourself a ticket for using your phone while driving.
Sorry it is all automated on both vehicles.
Long story but, I was driving a car that had been hit on three different areas, no muffler, plow lights on uni strut for head lights, cold beer in the seat next to me, after 20+ min. that was all they could get me for;faulty muffler.

My most recent run in with your boys in blue was a seatbelt offense! I'm right around the bend in the Castle! I learned decades ago to mind your Ps and Qs while driving in Sherrill. My first offense was in 1976, running my dirt bike down the middle of Sherrill Rd with my girl on the back neither of us wearing helmets, and right by a cop we did drive!

My cousin was the head cook at the Oneida Community Mansion House, for many years. I took care of the boilers in numerous Oneida Ltd buildings

Ya, they're in the old Oneida Silversmiths factory, just using a small portion of it. I think they only produce what is ordered, not warehoused. Most of the workers and owners are from the old factory though.
Ferris Moweres has much of the old factory and the newer state of the art shipping and warehouses.

I think Max’s is correct. If it’s the same one I’m thinking of They’ve been closed for a very long time now. I used to stop in there on my service travels through the area and talk with the old timer who owned it. After he died his wife and son tried running it for a bit but gave up and closed up shop. I bought a beautiful mint condition in the box Iver Johnson .25 acp that was made in the German Erma Werke factory when they had their going out of business sale. That was somewhere around 25 yrs. Ago now. I still have that little ankle biter pistol and it shoots like a charm.

Yep, old man Max Sykes on rt 5. Guns were stacked all over in corners tipping over. I have friends that went to school with his son. They say he sold guns on the side without his dads knowledge. This was long before background checks, 1980s.

Yup Max Sykes , that’s the guy. Yeah the good ol days when you could buy any shotgun or rifle without the commie nys gov’t looking over your shoulder. I bought and sold many firearms through the news paper classifieds back in the day.
