Is there a generally accepted "logo" for the Fox Gun? With Parker there's the woodcock, with LC Smith there's the dog, etc etc. I've never really seen much like that from Fox though. The only thing that comes to mind is the stalking fox on some of the catalog covers.

Ansley's first gun making company, Fox Gun Co., Balto., MD., U.S.A. registered a trademark --
Trade-Mark No. 32,508.jpg
All of the Fox Gun Co., a Maryland corporation, was transferred to a new company, Baltimore Arms Co., a West Virginia corporation, in January 1900. Ansley was neither an officer nor director of Baltimore Arms Co. During the first 2 1/2 years of their life Ansley was a professional shooter for Winchester representing their line of ammunition. First shooting a Parker, but by August 1900 they had gotten him shucking their Model 1897. For the last year and a half of Baltimore Arms Co.'s existence Ansley was in Philadelphia getting Philadelphia Arms Co. going. In late 1904, Ansley left Philadelphia Arms Co., bought much of the machinery and equipment of Baltimore Arms Co. at their receiver's sale which he used to set up the A.H. Fox Gun Co. in early 1905. The last item he bought at the Baltimore Arms Co.'s receiver's sale was the goodwill of Baltimore Arms Co. and the Fox trademark that had transferred to them back in January 1900.
