Dave,
There appears to have been two companys that used the small shotgun. The Cornwall marked items are more basic and only use the shotgun. The other items are more ornate and usually use a dog, pheasant, or duck with the shotgun. Pictured are the Cornwall products.

Thanks for the info Jeff... So we would still think theses items are 40's/50's?

Just did a google search. Cornwall wood Products of Maine went out of business in 1967.

I'm so weird, I like seeing and reading about oddball stuff like this almost as much as I like the guns themselves. Great stuff guys, I'm really enjoying this thread.

I'm lucky in that regard, I've never gotten that bug. I collect too much stuff already, I don't need another one.

Jeff and All :

Do any of you have or ever seen a cast Parker single barrel trap gun , if my memory is correct it was a C grade and about 18" long . Like a fool I had 2 or 3 of them in the late 60's or early 70's and sold them .

Sounds cool but I've never seen anything like it.

I've got a set of drawer pulls that are similar to the guns on all these decorative items but they're all doubles.

Allan,

Nope, that is a new one on me. Sounds like a great piece.
