According to the Historical CPI-U Data the rate of inflation from Jan. 1970 to Nov. 2011 (last available), the rate of inflation was 598.4%. That would make a $25.00 item worth $149.60, a $29.00 item $173.40 and a $35.00 item 209.44. Still not a bad price for a Luger or a C96 Broomhandle.

In 1986 I could have bought one share of Microsoft at its opening day close of $28.00. Instead I went to the movies with a girl I don't know anymore.
... and that's not counting dividends!
