Back in the late 1890s, early 1900s, a company in Rhode Island (Providence Tool/Arms?) (I can't remember the name) made a neat hammer single barreled 8 gauge. Either 34 or 36" barrels. A local gun shop in Syracuse had one hanging frum the ceiling. I first saw it in 1976 when I moved back to central NY from Mass. The dealer wanted $1500 and would not budge. I told him he was slightly daft and a few years later bought my first Parker double 8 gauge for around $2500. As far as I know, that single 8 is still hanging in Syracuse.
