More probably, the "Hub" gun was a product of the H. D. Folsom Co. Per Hinman's "The Golden Age of Shotgunning", Folsom..."was importing English, French, and Belgian guns, all in low and medium price range, and taking contracts to furnish either their own or imported guns under any brand name the purchaser desired." Hinman goes on to list 6 pages of gun "brands" that have been associated with Folsom, but the "Hub" brand is not listed. I made my more probably Folsom conclusion based on the sheer volume and diversity of Folsom guns.
