Colt was actually gone by the 20th Century --

My 1900 J.H. Johnston Great Western Gun Works catalog was still offering the Colt Hammerless Doubles. I says only a few left.

American Arms Co.'s Whitmore Hammerless just made it to the 20th Century --

Syracuse Arms Co. started about 1893, but made it to maybe 1908 --

Baltimore Arms was 1900 to 1904 --

Hollenbeck/Three-Barrel/Royal Gun Co. was 1901 to 1910 --

Tobin Arms Manufacturing Co. was founded in 1904 --

operated in the U.S. through 1909 then moved to Woodstock, Ontario, Canada and operated until WW-I.

Ansley Fox's Philadelphia Arms Co. was incorporated in 1902, built a factory and was finally producing a gun in latter 1904 --

Then in late 1904 Ansley left and by the spring of 1905 founded the A.H. Fox Gun Co.

Those are a few I can think of quickly. There were some nice J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. doubles in the years just before WW-I.
