I thought both the Baker sidelock doubles from Batavia, NY- and the Remington doubles from Ilion, NY both went out of production around 1912. Maybe not!

National Sportsman October 1928- the famous "Dad's train" cover painted by Wm. H. Foster- he as a 12 year old holding a double waist high behind a solid pointer, while a speeding Baldwin 2-4-2 steams by in the background- what a classic indeed. But I digress: page 25 top left hand- ad for baker guns the famed Batavia Leader at $35.00 in 12-16-20 and .410- address is Baker Gun Co. 314 Broadway, New York

Skip two years ahead of that- Hunting & Fishing September 1930 issue page 41== 3 Reasons for buying a BAKER GUN-- at $28.75, same address-
