I sure miss the old Remington model 241 that I used to have.
The first one I ever shot was at Texas State Fair in Dallas at a shooting gallery. I was about 9 or 10 years old. It was probably a model 24 since it shot 22 shorts. Thought I had won me a big ol teddy bear but the gallery hawker cheated me out of it.
I now have the Browning SA-22 takedown. Crazy accurate. Got it back when a new one was just under $400.

You gotta realize huge party shift democrats where republicans back then!
Thank for posting OP i learned alot from that. I knew about most of the guns but didnt realize how strong his original ties where to Winchester. Amazing the mechanical mind he had considering back then people where not that exposed to mechanical things like today. And how big of a player most of the guns he designed are still used and in production today.

I thought Teddy was leader of the Bull Moose party. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Bull-Moose-Party
He later was elected Pres. under the republican banner.
