an American Arms Co (Knickerbocher) 20,
Your Knickerbocker is by American Gun Co., N.Y. a "trade name" used on guns manufactured by New York City's H & D Folsom Arms Co.'s Crescent Fire Arms Co. factory in Norwich, Conn. and marketed by H & D Folsom. Why they used the American Gun Co. name up through WW-I and reverted to using the Crescent Fire Arms Co. name after the war is lost to time.

No. 6 Knickerbocker, Catalogue No. 18.jpg

The A.E. Whitmore designed hammerless shotgun I was referring to was made by American Arms Co. of Boston, Mass., George H. Fox's company. No relation to Ansley.
