yes they did
George Worthington was a hardware store in Cleveland, Ohio, from about 1890 to 1935. Single barrel shotguns were marked with his name by Crescent Arms Co and double barrel shotguns by J. Stevens Arms Co.
Crescent was formed in 1892 and purchased by H&D Folsom Sporting Goods in 1893. It operated as Crescent Fire Arms until 1931 when the company was purchased by the Stevens Division of Savage Arms. The name was used on Crescent models manufactured by Stevens until about 1935.
I did a lot of serch on this crescent arms club shotgun which I have never heard of before. I checked many sites in the web containing shotguns from crescent firerms since the late 1800's and nowhere I found one called club.
crescent made shotguns for Hermitage from 1904 to 1930. nothing mentioned on muzzle loading rifles.................
Yes.
No. There was no manufacturer named Central Arms Co. Guns with this name were made by J. Stevens, Crescent, Davenport, Pieper, and probably others. Many will not have serial numbers.
Folsom Arms Co was a trade name used by H&D Folsom Arms Company (1849 - 1954). These guns were manufactured by Crescent Fire Arms Co (1892-1931). Shotguns marked with this name were also imported from Belgium.
None that I can find in the Catalogue: Crescent did make what was known as Hardware rifles (Shotguns) for various hardware companies, and eventually became part of Savage arms co. You may be thinking of Crosman BB guns, they are still in business today.
Crescent manufactured shotguns from 1888 to 1940. They sold a million utility shotguns that were "branded" by hardware stores and the like. Typical value is $85 to $150.
You'll probably have to find a gunsmith who can make your parts. Shotguns marked Baker Gun Co were made in Belgium or by Crescent Fire Arms, Meriden, CT, for H & D Folsom in the early 20th Century.
No. Crescent made inxpensive shotguns under more than 100 different trade names.
