The New York Arms Co. was a name applied to firearms made by the H & D Folsom/Crescent Arms Co. This organization, Folsom/Cresent Arms, manufactured low cost firearms under a number of different names. You could actually buy the same firearm at a number of different stores with different names on it. H & D Folsom ( of New York, N. Y.) imported low cost firearms and distributed them under various names.
