What do we know about Leroy L. Leland who saw fit to picture a Parker Bros. gun on his label?

Leroy L. Leland 12-gauge Challenge #8 Chilled.jpg

Appears these shells were loaded in Union Metallic Cartridge Co. CHALLENGE NPEs ==

Appears he was a couple of blocks down W. Pratt from Sneider that was at 214.

Post to follow. I'm sorry I didn't buy LLL's 20 gauge when I had a chance.

Now, I remember a GHE 20 gauge two barrel set with LLL engraved on the escutcheon. It was offered at many gun shows in Maryland about two or three decades ago. Nice gun but overpriced for the time. It came out of Baltimore. Somebody has it.

I have the serial number of LLL's 20 gauge GHE in my files, but good luck finding it.
