Mike,
Thanks for the Simmons Hardware history!
In my Parker Research letter there is a clear distinction between who the shotgun was shipped to and who sent it back for service. in this case the gun was ordered by Simmons Hardware Company and shipped to A. G. Spalding in Chicago, IL. (it does not say A. G. Spalding Bros Company) but 4 years down later it is shipped from the A. G. Spalding Bros Company for service, which would be understandable since Mr. Spalding owned the company. If the letter stated that the gun was sent to the A. G. Spalding Bros Company then anyone could have purchased it from there store. Of course I would like to prove the A. G. Spalding was the actual owner, but because he is associated with the company it is assumed it went there instead. I am only looking for the truth!
