Default GEORGE WORTHINGTON COMPANY

I recently acquired a Parker Quality 3 Hammergun SN 299xx. The PGCA letter states that it was ordered by the George Worthington Company in Cleveland, Ohio on November 29, 1882. It was ordered and still retains both the 28 & 30 inch barrels that appears in the original order & letter.

Does anyone know anything about this company? From what I googled it appears that they were a large hardware store that sold mainly Crescent & other inexpensive doubles.

The gun is presently at Jim Kelly's Darlington Gun Works being restored. When it's ready I'll post before & after pictures.

Please excuse me if I've posted about this gun before.

Best Regards, George
