In 1893 there was a possibility of the company moving to Milwaukee, Wis.
Milwaukee, Wis. ad 1893.jpeg but it apparently never happened. All through the 1890s American Arms Co. was moving to Bluffton, Alabama. 04. 421 butt plate.jpg They had property and a building there, but much of the machinery and parts inventory was still in Boston when George H. Fox died in 1901. Most of it was sold to Marlin by November 1901. Some entity continued to pay the taxes on the Bluffton, Alabama, property until 1915. |

Those are great looking guns. I’ll bet these are the Fox guns T.R. was referring to when he reportedly stated “the finest shotgun in the world”.

Ansley was using "The Finest Gun in the World" well before he made a gun for T.R.
