Sedgley with shoulder stock

Post by Peter »

This is a new addition to my collection:

A Sedgley 37mm with shoulder stock and long barrel.
- Made by Lake Erie Chemical co. Cleveland Ohio
- Pat. 8-12-13, Others Pend.
- Ser.No. 1031

Does anyone have any info regarding this piece?

Thanks in advance!
Peter

What did you want to know ? ?
Guns have only two enemies, rust and politicians.


I am still looking for ANY information regarding the European Use of the Original Costons flares from 1859 through 1881. Photo's, Patents, contracts & orders, ANY INFORMATION IS NEEDED ! !

Hi Howard,

I would like to know when it was made, where it was used, how many were made, how rare it is (or not), what it was used for (flares/gas) etc.

It is hard to find anything on the web about this one.

Regards
Peter

Sorry for resurrecting a "zombie" thread, but most threads are LOL.
I just picked up one identical (but in much worse shape), marked "Lake Erie Chemical Co., Cleveland OH" on barrel and the same "PAT 8-12-13 / Others Pending" on the barrel adapter / locking collar. S/N 1015. Pictured here with another "shoulder stock" Sedgley with the 1931 patent date. I'd like to know more about either / both of these as well. I've seen ads from the 1940's for the yellow-painted one with the more typical tip-up style barrel.
