I figured that since I could always use more sights, I tossed a max bid of $15 on the lot and ended up winning it for $9.  With tax and premium, out the door for just over $11.

When I picked it up yesterday, I opened the box to find mostly rear and front sights for black powder guns, a couple of pistol cleaning rods.......  and a Winchester Model 08 rod, complete with all three sections, accessory tips, and the canvas case.  Looks like I did pretty good for an $11 investment.

According to AI:

you have a highly sought-after, authentic antique Winchester Model 08 jointed cleaning rod dating from the late 1910s to the 1920s. [1, 2]

According to records from the Winchester Collector Association, the Model 08 was originally introduced as a high-end shotgun/large-bore accessory. It was sold as a standalone item in a canvas soft sleeve and was also famously packaged as part of Winchester's rare "Junior Trapshooting Outfits" of that era. Because yours bears the stamped model number and trademark on the ferrule, it is confirmed as the official, cataloged consumer version

Thank you, JWA, my weekend movie choice just got a lot easier. In addition to Rocky Horror Picture Show, of course.

While Sutherland was almost typecast to play oddball or evil characters, his acting range was much broader. He was allowed to display this as Calvin Jarrett, the grieving father of Timothy Hutton's traumatized, suicidal character as his younger son, in the 1980 film Ordinary People. It is a highly demanding role requiring the portrayal of quiet stability and emotional heroism, providing a lifeline to his son as he discovers the hidden resentment and bitterness of his wife, who secretly blames her surviving son for the death of her elder son. Mary Tyler Moore is also allowed to show her full range and break out of the lightweight, happy time roles to which she'd been confined. A powerful drama, it was Robert Redford's directorial debut. He won the Best Director Oscar for it. I had forgotten how good it was until you mentioned Sutherland's Oddball.

Well, I've got the Bosch trim router....
  

You are halfway there, now you just need the more expensive bits....

So Jeff-
So what you're saying is that all Zeb needs is one of these?  This is an old Winchester factory photo.

Salstrom stock duplicating machine c.1950s???  I'm sure he can pick one up CHEAP on eBay...
I would like to have dimensions (of each part) of those racks, just to figure out how to make one...  Looks like a fun project for the DIY'er with a wood lathe to go with his/her jig/scroll saw.  The wood would be easy... My Brother has a saw mill and we've got lots of white oak logs to quarter saw...

Lou,

I think that is a bit extreme but probably similar to what they were made on originally. 

No, I was thinking more small scale.  These duplicators can be found for less than $1000 and are a fun addition to any wood shop.

If someone can get the dimensions I can throw them into G-code and easily 3D print a pattern for use on a duplicator.

Best Regards,

I don't think would it fit in my garage. If it did, there would have to also be enough room for a single mattress and a heater because I would be sleeping out there with it.

Guys this one is for sale at Richmond and is an authenticated Winchester Gun Rack! they look similar to me but trust the experts can vet it better than I can!

The one in the Richmond auction is an authentic Winchester gun rack.   Take a look on page 709 of the Standard Catalog of Winchester.  The other one may be an original that has been re furbished?  The original has felt in the notches at the top.  Believe me, making the bottom piece where the rifle butts sit isn't and easy part to make. 
  

Chuck,

Thanks for that, as I looked on page #709, and like you said it's in there, and the base might be remade, or re worked but that's definitely it!

Learned something else on this great site!

Thanks,

Tony

No kidding. 

I'd be inclined to make it in sections with a band saw and router table, making a common pre-drilled hole with a template. Then join the sections on a 1/2" brass rod, plugging the ends with face grain Oak plugs.

You wouldn't get done with it by suppertime.
