Hopefully Doc Drew will be along to tell us what business used that Invincible name.
I didn't notice that. I feel sorta bad now. The first shotgun I bought for myself was a Bay State when I was around 12. I picked it out of the barrel of $5 single shots in a country store (try that now). It was a 16 gauge and I needed to make a new opening lever. I used a 20 penny nail from the hardware store (right diameter for the shaft) using a hammer, vice, hacksaw, file and torch. I used it for several years and helped decimate the local rabbit population. It started me on a life of working on guns and loving 16gauge shotguns. I could buy any shotgun I want now, but they likely wouldn't affect my life like that old Bay State from a wooden barrel.
