BPK, My dad was also born and raised in Meriden. The family had a farm up on Wall St., and my grandfather worked at Parker Brothers. He was not a gun guy, though my dad was. One day when I was pretty small, we were visiting the grandparents (they moved to Wethersfield in 1930) and my dad told me to go upstairs and get a gun that was under his old bed. It was a T Latch just like yours, and I have no doubt it had always been in his family.
I traded it for a 1911 Colt. My dad thought that was smart, but I wish I'd kept the T Latch.
