Tom Marshall's Cashmore, Parker & Remington
 
Thought I'd start a new thread since this is getting interesting :)

This photo at the ATA HOF is suppose to have been taken after his 1897 GAH at Live Birds victory using his Cashmore (with which he also won 1899)

But the receiver profile is unmistakable

Marshall used a Parker as captain of the victorious U.S. squad during the 1901 Anglo-American Competition

Marshall thereafter was a U.M.C. rep. The 1904 Touring UMC Squad, included Marshall as Captain, R. O. Heikes, C. W. Budd, J. L. Head. T. E Hubby, W. H. Heer, J. T. Anthony, F. C. Riehl and E. D. Fulford; assisted by Frank Butler, and shot in 65 Southern Cities. The first five broke the five-man squad world's record by a score of 488X500 at Palestine, Texas.

The entire squad used Remington Trap Guns

AND the U.M.C. squad and the DuPont/Winchester squad must have traveled together also - this pic is from 1905 with (left to right): Rolla Heikes, Jack Fanning, H.H. Stevens, Fred Gilbert, Tom Marshall (Captain), W.R. Crosby, W.H. Heer, Unknown

http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL.../383200164.jpg

In 1908 the squad was Annie Oakley, Thomas A. Marshall, W. H. Heer, George W. Maxwell, Col. Anthony, and Frank E. Butler representing U. M. C. and Remington Arms Companies.

This is a good shot of what looks to be a Remington taken in 1912: Banks, Powers, Heikes, Gilbert, Crosby & Marshall from Sporting Life March 8 1913

Drew, I believe the shooter on the far right that you have listed as "Unknown" is none other than Ansley H. Fox

Drew Hause 08-19-2010 01:29 PM

Fox was a Winchester rep using a 1897, but that looks to be a double gun Dean. The plots thickens further :banghead:

He was shooting for Winchester in 1902

He was in the shoot off for the 1901 GAH at Live Birds using a Winchester

Drew, The far right unknown in the photo looks like Frank Butler...

Best, CSL

Without checking reference material, I agree with Chris that it is Frank Butler. By the way, the Marshall presentation gun is a Cashmore Nitro model. I don't think the gun he shot in the two GAH victories was a Nitro model. The presentation gun has been outed and is apparently in a US collection at this time.

Drew Hause 08-19-2010 05:41 PM

I believe Chris and Bill are correct

I wonder if we can get the owner of the Tom Marshall Presentation Cashmore to post on here? This is an important gun and it should be "out there" for us to study.

In late December 1904 Ansley resigned from Philadelphia Arms Co. and in 1905 was busy getting the A.H. Fox Gun Co. going. His days with Winchester were in 1900, 1901 and part of 1902.

In late December 1904 Ansley resigned from Philadelphia Arms Co. and in 1905 was busy getting the A.H. Fox Gun Co. going. His days with Winchester were in 1900, 1901 and part of 1902. He started out in 1900 representing Winchester's ammo but shooting a Parker. Along about August 1900, the big W got him shucking a Model 1897.
