Some years ago at the Old Baltimore Show (now actually held in Timonium MD), I offered an excellent condition cartridge magazine with a near-perfect label from Henry Squires of NY. After a few tire-kickers got through harumpf-ing about it, a man walked up and asked me if this was the same Squires who marketed Greener guns in the US back in the old days. When I confirmed it, he bought it on the spot. Turns out he collected Greeners and had a couple of cartridge magazines with Greener labels, but had never seen one with the Squires as US Agent label. Turns out one of his guns was papered as having been imported and sold through Squires, so he had to have it!
