I couldn’t pass it up, not only because of that outrageous color, but because you hardly ever see old Moores with their price stickers intact . . . and this particular sticker raises an interesting question:
“Moore Bronzecraft.” The name seems to be a good description for the color, or maybe it was Moore’s name for model 97. I’ve searched around and come up empty on this one.
I suspect it's the color. I've never seen "Bronzecraft" as a model before.
