After much delibertion we have decided to put these unique single shot rifles up for sale. I have had a lot of interest in them so first come first served and they are sold AS IS. They need restoration.

CATALOG 1

tc no. 7

Here we have a couple of barn finds. This first one is a RARE! Hamilton No. 7 single shot rifle! The Model 7 was the first Hamilton made. The skeleton frame was made entirely of castings, stampings with coil springs, and completely nickel-plated. To load the rifle, the barrel pivots to the left at the frame junction, exposing the chamber. The Hamilton No 7 still holds the record for the longest firing pin on a shoulder fired rifle at 9" long. Manufacturer of inexpensive .22-caliber rifles. Established by Clarence J. Hamilton and his son Coello, in 1898 in Plymouth, Michigan. Company ceased production in 1945. Over 1 million rifles of all types were produced between 1900 and 1911. Despite the fact there were many Hamilton rifles sold, most of these little guns were used hard and many did not survive. As a matter of fact 44,700 No. 7's were made from 1899-1901, of which Mr. Ringbauer, Hamilton Rifle Historian, Author and Collector, estimates 99.9 percent have gone to "Rifle Heaven". It is estimated that fewer than 45 of these "first model" Hamilton rifles remain. Regardless, very few of the rifle exist. This one is in fair condition and needs some work. It is chambered by pulling back the knurled metal round piece which clicks into place and is released by the pulling of the trigger. Total length of 30.75-inches and barrel length of 8-inches which is NFA exempt due to it's short length. Everything seems to be there but the trigger doesn't move very far. A good gunsmith can fix it for sure! You just don't come across these for sale very often in any condition. They were sometimes given away as a premium when you purchased something else. I even found out that some were placed in feed sacks with grain and if you were lucky enough you could have bought one with one of these rifles in it! Think of the lucky boy who got one of these! Take a look at the pics!

$495.00

Not a Hamilton No. 7

This next little wire framed rifle is unknown to me so if perhaps you know what it is let me know. It was found with the Hamilton No. 7 above and although it has several of the same features it definitely is not a Hamilton No. 7 .22 Rifle! This one is all iron and does not seem to have been plated ever. This one is 25 1/2 inches long with a longer 12 inch barrel that also swivels like the Hamilton No. 7 rifle. This little rifle is a bit more crude than the Hamilton put still would operated the same. The firing pin is pulled back to a notch and the trigger is pulled to send it into the .22 rimfire case and propel the projectile down to the target. Everything looks to be there but needs a good gunsmith to break everything loose so it will operate. Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think at ted.caldwell@comcast.net Thanks! $295.00

Unused Old Stock 1982 NRA Freedom Lighter. Supreme brand made in Korea. Never used! The National Rifle Association (NRA) was not founded until 1871, so there was no NRA commander in 1862. The NRA was formed by Union veterans William C. Church and George Wingate following the Civil War, out of concern for the poor marksmanship of their troops. Church, an editor of the Army and Navy Journal, and Captain Wingate aimed to create an organization to promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis. Union General Ambrose Burnside, who served during the Civil War, became the first president of the NRA in 1871. He served until 1872 when Church took over the presidency. Keith M. Gaffaney, Police officer, was the President of the NRA from 1981 to 1983. This would make a great addition to your National Rifle Association collection! $19.99 + $4.00 ground advantage shipping.

tc lodge knife

Here we have a small pen knife with pearl like plastic grips marked GRAND LODGE F & A M OF INDIANA 1949! The grips look white in the pics but they are more pearl like. In Indiana, the "Grand Lodge F&AM" refers to the governing body for Free & Accepted Masons, specifically the Grand Lodge of Indiana Free & Accepted Masons (F&AM). This Grand Lodge oversees all Masonic lodges within the state of Indiana. It was established in 1818 and has its offices located in Indianapolis. The Grand Lodge of Indiana also has a separate Prince Hall Grand Lodge, which is also a regular Masonic Grand Lodge within the state. The knife is in good aged condition with no cracks or breaks to the grip except for a tiny little crack that is hard to photograph but is shown in the pics. This 3 inch overall pen knive has two blades which are about 1 7/8ths and 1 1/2 inches long respectively. The blades could use a little cleaning but they have not been sharpened which is great! The bigger blade is marked ??? CHICAGO USA and if you recognize this maker let me know and I'll add it to the description. The blades and pins are nice and tight with no wobble what so ever! Nice collectible for a Mason Collector! Check out the pics!!! $45.00

Here we have a Vintage India/Nepal Gurkha Kukri Fighting Knife three piece set and all Original. Complete 3 piece Set. Vintage India Gurkha Kukri Fighting Knife with original sheath made of some type of leather with metal protective tip and includes the original web belt hanger. Complete with 2 mini small knives that fit inside sheath as well. Not sure of exact age of it but believed to be around WW2. The Gorkha Kukri is possibly the most recognizable and famous fighting knife ever developed. Indigenous to the mountain Kingdom of Nepal, home of the Gorkha who were "absorbed" into the British sphere of influence with the Treaty of Seguli in 1816. These ferocious fighters were infamous for their valor and for using the kukri an amazing "Tool of Death". It is a forward leaning leaf shaped blade, which provided the user with leveraged striking power. The kukri was became an everyday tool as much as it was a deadly weapon. Introduced long before the British arrived in the early 19th century, the Kukri became standard equipment for Gorkha Regiments serving in the British Army. Ironically the earliest Kukris are the largest and this one is the more manageable middle size. No year or date is marked anywhere on the knife. Blade is not marked with name of country of origin as well. Blade length is about 8 1/4" long. Total length of knife is about 12" long. 2 smaller knives are 4" and 5" in total length and blades are about 2 5/8" long on each. Grips on the small knives are wood, being somewhat different while the grip on the larger knife is horn . The blades on each are steel with one of the smaller knives being hand hammered while the other is finished steel as well as the larger knife. The knife itself is really nice, great set! The decorative leaher sheath has a little bit of sheath separation on the blade edge side which you can't see unless the blade is pressed in. If you make sure the spline of the blade is at the top it doesn't separate. This is a nice set and reasonably priced at $125.00 Check out the pics!!

SOLD!!! tc colt pocket model .31 Caliber. Here we have a well used Colt .31 caliber 5 shot pocket model revolver with a 4 inch barrel. This old girl with serial number 326737 was produced in 1871 near the end of production. The Colt Model 1849 Pocket Revolver, chambered in .31 caliber, was a popular handgun produced by Colt from 1848 to 1872. It was a successor to the earlier "Baby Dragoon" and was known for its compact size, making it suitable for concealed carry. This would be a favorite "hideout" revolver that would fit easily in an inside pocket and was popular with enlisted men because it was fairly small and wouldn't weigh a ton. Enlisted men had to carry their own handguns as they were not issued unless the soldier was in the Cavalry. As mentioned this revolver saw hard use and has several dings on the cylinder. You can see traces of the Stagecoach scene on the cylinder but mostly gone now but the matching serial number is still present as well as on the other pieces of this revolver as expected. The hand and spring needs replaced and the revolver doesn't cock all the way back but this can be fixed if you want it fixed. Also I believe the wedge and screw are modern replacements. One grip side has a crack in it and I suspect that it was broken and glued back in place. The markings are mostly clear on the top of the barrel and on the frame and triggerguard. There is a story here on it's hard use but I don't have a clue as to what it is! Over 300,000 Model 1849 Pocket revolvers were produced, making it one of Colt's most successful firearms. As a point of interest there are accounts of Civil War officers keeping 1849 Pocket revolvers handy to potentially deter limb amputations by surgeons! I can believe that!! There are a few dings on the barrel as well as the cylinder on this old girl. The revolver exhibits a nice dark patina and there is no silver plating left on the brass parts. All in all though it's a nice example of a Civil War through Indian War era firearm! Lodgewood Mfg. out of Wisconsin can fix those problems with no problem. They can be reached at Phone: (262) 473-5444 or Email: info@lodgewood.com All in all this is a great example of a revolver that saw widespread use during the Civil War on both sides of the War! An excellent Colt .31 pocket model can sell for over $1200.00 and I have seen examples with the short "Wells Fargo" barrel selling for over $2200.00! You can have this one for XXX. Check out the pics!!!

tc manhattan revolver

SOLD

This walked into our shop last week. This is a 36 caliber Manhattan 5 shot revolver with a 6 1/2 inch barrel. This is in the Series II being serial number 11592 and was made from January 1860 to September 1861. The Manhattan Firearms Company was founded in 1856 in New York, largely due to the expiration of Colt’s patent in 1857. They produced single-shot pistols, pepperbox pistols, and revolvers of calibers ranging from .22 to .36. While Manhattan had no large government contracts, many of these were privately purchased by officers and men of both sides before and during the Civil War. The .36 caliber Navy Revolver was Manhattan’s answer to the M1851 Colt Navy and approximately 78,000 were produced at their Newark, NJ factory between 1859 and 1868 in five series. As previously mentioned this Civil War era Series II revolver features a 6 1/2” octagonal barrel, the top flat stamped “MANHATTAN FIREAMS MFG. CO. NEW YORK.” in one line. The inspectors mark X is stamped on the underside flat of the barrel above the rammer. Five-shot cylinder engraved with five oval panels that was made depicting naval and military scenes with mostly worn, and stamped “PATENTED DEC. 27, 1859”. Matching serial number “11592” stamped on barrel, frame, trigger guard, and grip strap. Silver-plated brass trigger guard and grip straps is missing the silver plate now, one-piece varnished walnut grips in good condition. Originally finished with case-hardened frame, hammer, and loading lever, with the balance blued; now showing light pitting and oxidation, with the overall piece showing a nice dark patina. Cylinder scenes showing wear with one sailing ship scene showing fairly well. The piece operates but only advances the cylinder if you cock the hammer while holding the barrel down indicating that the hand and spring, which indexes the cylinder, has a broker spring. Also there is a period handmade wedge holding the barrel onto the cylinder rod and it's pretty tight so I did not drive it out. Also, the front sight may be a replacement and it is slightly loose. The wedge screw is missing as well. Lodgewood Mfg. out of Wisconsin can fix those problems with no problem. They can be reached at Phone: (262) 473-5444 or Email: info@lodgewood.com All in all this is a great example of a revolver that saw widespread use during the Civil War on both sides of the War! Excellent examples of this weapon go for $1,200 to over $1,400 $SOLD.00

Here is a group of grapeshot and a pair of hot grapeshot tongs. These tongs were used to remove the hot grapeshot after forging. There are 5 grapeshot in this group with one being a solid lead ball. These balls measure from 3/4 inch in diameter to an inch and a half in diameter. The tongs are obviously blacksmith made and measure 16 1/4 inch long. For this set $75.00 Found mixed in with a large group of Civil War lead bullets and other dug stuff. Check out the pics!

Here we have 2 larger grapeshot that are too large for the tongs. These balls are 2 inches in diameter. One you can see the center seam and the other you can see how rough it was cast and a sprue mark on each end. Also found in a large group of dug stuff and bullets. For the pair $35.00 Check out the pics!

ds swords

Here are two Civil War Cavalry Sabers that were originally purchased from the renown Civil War Expert and Dealer Larry Hicklen who owns Middle Tennessee Civil War Relics in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Larry is a personal friend who I have known for many years and is a true gentleman and honest dealer. Here is saber No. 1

Here we have an all original Emerson & Silver Cavalry saber that exhibits age from the period. The blade is full length and unsharpened and un-nicked as it should be with the markings mostly there. The date of 186(1) has the last digit quite weak but it looks like a '1' to me but we are pricing it like a '4' as I am not sure. Emerson & Silver, a Trenton, NJ-based company, played a significant role during the Civil War by producing 27,060 Model 1860 cavalry sabers for the U.S. government, along with other swords, and operated from 1860 to 1865. Emerson & Silver swords are now highly sought-after by collectors due to their historical significance and relative rarity. This one has a great deal of the original leather grip wrapping and all of the grip wire. The hand guard has nice patina on it as well as the pommel cap which also has the inspectors initals on it. The handguard also has a few 'strikes' on it from an unknown source but very minor although there is a substantial crack in the handguard between the upper two branches on the front that you can see daylight through. The original scabbard is complete exhibiting a fairly nice patina complete with rings, drag and throat. The original blade washer is also present. The scabbard is essentially dent free except for a small dent on the obverse side of the scabbard down by the drag. This is a nice sword! $695.00 If you want a Civil War Saber that obviously saw action them this one is for you! Check out the pics!

The Second saber here No. 2 is an Ames Saber dated 1863. The Ames Sword Company of Chicopee, Massachusetts delivered 5,000 Model 1860 Cavalry Sabers between September 29, 1859 and January 11, 1861 to the US Ordnance Department. Similar to the M1840 “Old Wrist Breaker”, but lighter, it was originally called the “New Pattern” M1860 Light Cavalry Saber. While it's impossible to pinpoint the exact number of Ames 1860 cavalry sabers manufactured specifically in 1863, it's estimated that Ames produced around 200,000 of these sabers during the Civil War, with other companies like Roby also contributing to the overall production. This one has weak Ames markings but they are there. The markings on the reverse ricasso are much better. The blade is full length as expected and looks to have been blued at one point. There are no noticible nicks on the blade albeit a little bit of roughness is edge and it has a full tip. Also the original scabbard has been nickeled which is an old trait of the Grand Army of the Republic Civil War Veterans group did when they hung them in their halls to pretty them up! The handguard and pommel cap are a nice reddish dark patina which a collector likes to see. The front of the hand grip top has a bend in it which was probably straightened out as they were often bent forward to catch the blade of an opponet. The grip has been replace and it looks fairly professional to me with full wire. The blade washer is lacking and the scabbard throat is also lacking. Take a look at the pics! For this one $600.00

DS Springfield 1902 Sword

Here we have an early Springfield Model 1902 Army Sword and scabbard. The Springfield Model 1902 Army Officer's Saber, officially named "saber for all officers, Model 1902," was adopted on July 17, 1902, and designed as a replacement for the M-1860 Staff and Field Officers Sword. It's the current authorized saber for U.S. Army and Air Force officers. The M-1902 Officers Saber was designed and adopted as a replacement for the M-1860 Staff and Field Officers Sword, which was regarded as too light for slashing and not stiff enough for thrusting. The M-1902 Officers Saber was authorized in three different lengths and has been seen in five different signature patterns, two of which are quite scarce. Production began in 1903 and continued through 1918. A total of 5,735 M-1902 Officers Sabers were produced at the Springfield Armory. The M-1902 was also widely produced for the Army and military schools by many civilian contractors and are generally much less sought after. Several contractors made this sword after the Springfield armory contract. This sword had an ornate 31 1/4 inch blade which has had the tip reshaped for some reason. I believe a bit of the tip was broken off. The blade itself is ornately engraved and is so shiny that it was hard to take pics of it. The ricasso on reverse side of the blade has the Springfield markings. US is in the center of the blade on the reverse as well. As stated this is an Early Springfield sword, of which there are 5 types of signatures from Springfield and this is the type 2 sword. This sword has the german silver guard and wooden grip. The grips of the Springfield Model 1902 Army Officer's Sword were initially made of darkly stained wood, sometimes horn, but later models substituted this organic material with bakelite (an early plastic). The guard was originally had 3 branches but unfortunately 2 of the branches have been removed. They were probably broken some how and just removed. The scabbard is nickel plated steel (now thinly plated) with german silver plated brass rings and mounts. The scabbard throat is now missing. It's still a good example to hang on the wall. While the U.S. Model 1902 Army Officer's Sword was adopted in 1902 and is now primarily a ceremonial weapon, it was not used in battle, especially after World War I, when swords largely fell out of favor as a primary military weapon so this damage was probably done by the Military owners kids of grandkids. As is for this example $175.00

ds nco belt plate

Here we have a real nice original Model 1851 NCO belt plate worn by NCO's and cavalrymen of the Civil War. The “rectangular eagle belt plate,” was introduced in 1851 as the regulation buckle for US soldiers carrying swords. This included all officers, as well as enlisted men in the cavalry (dragoons at the time,) artillery, and non-commissioned officers of infantry. The motif is the same on all plates: the arms of the United States, consisting of a spread-winged eagle with a ribbon in its beak reading E Pluribus Unum, clutching arrows and an olive branch, with stars and sun rays overhead and a silver wreath below. Officers usually purchased higher quality plates from military goods dealers that had a wreath cast integrally with the plate, but given a silver wash, as might be done also to the stars. Enlisted men were issued plates that made use of a separately applied nickel silver wreath. This one has the single piece wreath applied to the plate rather than the 3 piece wreath. The piece is in excellent condition missing the keeper and with no bench mark numbers stamped on it as some were. This one is Plate 660 in O'Donnell's Book on american Military Belt Plates and was produced in 1864 and 1865 according to the book. For this non dug piece $325.00. Check out the pics!

tc police items

Here we have several Police items and a couple of Fire Department Patches. I usually don't offer these but I am a retired career Firefighter and have many friends and acquaintances who are Police Officer and I thought that they would like them. There are two Rock Island, Illinois Fire Department patches, Sanibel Florida police patch, city of New York Police patch, S.W. Florida Criminal Justice Academy Police patch, 2 Court Officer State of New York Patches, 2 Deputy Sheriff patches from Lee County Florida, a Department of Natural Resources Marine Patrol Florida patch, Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Belt Buckle and 6 State of New York Police brass buttons. Early Police buttons were made of copper and that is why some people refer to police officers as "Cops". The buttons have the State of New York State Seal on them as well as the date 1664 and, since I love history, here is a short history of New York. The history of New York City has been influenced by the prehistoric geological formation during the last glacial period of the territory that is today New York City. The area was shortly inhabited by the Lenape; after initial European exploration in the 17th century, the Dutch established New Amsterdam in 1624. In 1664, the British conquered the area and renamed it New York. So there you have it! For the entire collection $35.00 Check out the pics!

tc meat cleaver

Antique W. Gilpin Wedges Mills Meat Cleaver

Here is a butcher / chef meat cleaver made by W. Gilpin. William Gilpin was an English tool manufacturer in Cannock, north of Birmingham. The firm operated 2 works near each other, Churchbridge Works and Wedges Mills. Gilpin operated from as early as 1834 to 1946 or later. The cleaver has a solid one piece metal blade and an aluminum handle which probably preplace an elm wood handle over the metal secured with a brass sleeve as it was crudely done (look at the tang photo). Aluminum's widespread use began in the late 19th century, particularly after the development of the Hall-Héroult process in 1886, which made its production significantly cheaper and more efficient, leading to its extensive use in industry and everyday life. Very impressive to look at and still extremely functional. Length: nearly 11" Blade height: nearly 2.75" This is a fairly heavy cleaver weighing 1 pound. The blade needs cleaned but I will leave that up to the purchaser. The blade has been lightly sharpened a time or two in the past but not much. Just a couple of tiny nicks in the edge. $75.00

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Here we have a Little Bo Peep Vintage heated Baby Bowl!

Vintage Baby Bowl patented July 11, 1944 and used through the early 50s. Little Bo Peep from the nursery rhyme is minding her sheep, along with a kitten and small dog. This divided babies dish can hold hot water inside to keep dish contents warm. Still holds water; cap opens and closes easily. The ceramic finish needs some minor cleaning. Blue, for a boy, bakelite handles and cap for water compartment. Chrome is still very shiny with one small dent on buttom/side. This Thermo Plate Corp Bartsch warming dish is in excellent vintage condition as pictured. For the Baby Boomer kids of the Greatest Generation of returning WW2 Veterans! Check out the pics! $20.00

tc atkinson

SOLD!!!

Here we have a well loved approx .30 caliber full stock rifle with an Atkinson Warranted English trade lock. Atkinson started business in around 1840 and sent many trade locks over here for gunsmiths to use in their shop made rifles. This is a set trigger percussion rifle and has undergown several repairs in the past. The pics will tell you most of the story. This is a slender made Pennsylvania type rifle being 56 inches long with a faux trigger stripped stock. The stock could be a hardwood like maple but it has a faux stripe on it which was achieved by wrapping a cord around the stock from one end to the other and setting it on fire which left a black strip down it's entire length. The barrel is 40 inches long with each of the 6 flats measuring approximately 3/8ths inch wide. The rifling is excellent. The brass was probably cleaned as it's fairly bright in color. There are 3 thimbles that hold the probably replaced wooden ramrod in place. The only damage to the stock is where it was burned behind the nipple which is quite common and there is a chip behind the burning that was pinned down which is also very common. The lockplate has some pitting on it that you can see in the pic. The set triggers work and the lock is a two position lock that snaps down when squeezing the front trigger after setting the set trigger. The stock has a check piece carved into it on the reverse side. There are no markings on this piece other than the lockplate, however, I have not taken the rifle apart so there may be something under the stock on on the underside of the barrel. This is a very nice looking full stock rifle from the 1840's period! Check out the pics! $XXX.00

tc salesman sample

Here we have something that I just couldn't pass up. This is a diminutive axe made for working on roofs with wood shingles that I believe is a salesman's sample as it's so small!! I am using my hand and a quarter for comparison! I believe these type hand axes were introduced in the late 1800's and were used up until wooden shingles went by the wayside for asphalt shingles. This one here is about 9 3/4 inches long overall with the head being 3 inches long from the bit to the poll and the bit is 2 inches long and does show a little use, probably from the salesman's kid! This little roof axe has the original handle with a great deal of the original finish on it. The head is a little loose on the handle but it has never been messed with and I don't intent to tighten it up either. This is a real dandy! Look at the pics. $225.00

tc moccasins

Old 20th Century Ojibwe/Chippewa Reservation Moccasins

The Ojibwe call themselves "Anishinaabeg," which mean the "True People" or the "Original People." Other Indians and Europeans called them "Ojibwe" or "Chippewa," which meant "puckered up," probably because the Ojibwe traditionally wore moccasins with a puckered seam across the top like the ones shown here. These moccasins are soft tanned Deer hide with soft soles ideal for walking/hunting in the woods without making a sound. They are in excellent used condition with just a couple of missing beads.

Excellent hand sewn bead work!!! Check out the pics! $450.00 The display case is not included in the sale but is available. Thanks for looking!
