Craig, can you tell us where Mr. Platt lived? The "Gold Hearts Gun" is the only other lower grade gun that I'm aware of with gold parts.

Back then, Meriden was a nicely, leisurely drive up route 5 from New Haven. Probably one and a half to two hours. I'll bet he took the day off had the Missus pack a lunch and had a nice picnic in Hubbard Park. "Oh, darling, I just want to swing by the Charles Parker Company before we head home".

That was 1889 so it woulda been Horse and buggy .

Or he could have taken the train. The New Haven line made stops along the way to Hartford, one of them being Meriden. Probably only an hour or so.
