The "Enders Royal" name is associated with Shapleigh Hardware of St Louis, and Crescent was one of the several manufacturers. "Cannon Breech-Simmons Hardware Co" is found on single shot guns made by J. Stevens Arms Co. But I cannot locate any information that indicates a shotgun was made with both of these trade names.

"NITRO HUNTER" was one of the many brand names used by the HD Folsom Company. They were major distributors of shotguns to the various hardware/catalog stores in the 19th and early 20th century. HD Folsom absorbed Crescent Firearms Company and Crescent became the in-house manufacturer for this type of gun, but HD Folsom also sold products made by Hopkins & Allen, H&R, Iver Johnson, etc. Your particular shotgun was made by Crescent and distributed by HD Folsom to Belknap Hardware in Louisville KY sometime between 1902 and 1930. sales@countrygunsmith.net
