Default Great Great Grandfathers shotgun

thanks. I am not being naïve but I would be surprised if research did not show Copperthite in the Parker Brothers Records. He was from Meridian and he was and or his products were know to everybody from East Haven to New Haven in that state. He was friends with politicians and his dearest friend Andrew the King Kennedy Battalion Chief of the New Haven Fire Department were know sportsmen of that era. And he was the rags to riches story that was lauded and know the King of Pie when we had 230 wagons, 600 horses and 15,000 employees turning out 14.5 million pies a year. He co founded the Columbia Club which was hunters, skeet, trap and other sports, a member of the Isaac Walton League and sportsman of the year in 1902 as a driver in pacing and trotting horse than one of the three most popular sports in America. He had several guns.
