A.H. Fox Gun Co. Ejector History

Post by Researcher »

The first A.H. Fox Gun Co. catalog doesn't mention automatic ejectors. The second A.H. Fox Gun Co. catalog is the same but includes, under the list price on the page of each grade --

Automatic Ejector, $15.00
1905-06 Finest Gun in the World page 4.jpeg
List Extra[/i]

That second catalog still has the Wayne & Bristol Streets address. The Patent application for the A.H. Fox & G.A. Horne ejectors was filed July 24, 1907, about 8 months after the company moved into the factory at North 18th Street & Windrim Avenue. The earliest A.H. Fox Gun Co. magazine advertisements I've found that mention ejectors are from September 1907.
