Not really much history. It was a brand name used by Sears Roebuck in the early 1900's. They were manufactured by Crescent Arms and possibly a few other US makers, but most were inexpensive Belgian imports. More information contributed by others: * I found from the Illinois State Museum section "Harvesting the River," that the T. Barker was sold in 1897 by Sears for $11.97. They're example was seized during the Taylor Mine Wars. My question is: Are the laminated barrels safe to shoot modern ammo? * If it has laminated barrels, it was probably proofed for black powder. There are people who shoot these old shotguns, but they load their own shells to 1900 specifications. Using a box of Walmart shells would be like driving your Model T down the Interstate at 75.
Yes, the T. Barker double-barrel side-by-side shotgun was sold through Sears in the 1890s. Sears, Roebuck and Co. offered a variety of firearms in their catalogs during that time, including shotguns from various manufacturers. The T. Barker brand was known for producing affordable shotguns that appealed to the consumer market of the era.
