Harry Creighton was from Nashville, TN, and in 1967 was still operating out of his shop on 9th Avenue, between Broadway and Church Streets. I think you will find that his metal work is exceptional. Before becoming a full time gunsmith, he was a tool and die maker and he brought a passion for precision metal work with him into his new endeavor.
Harry did no stock work (except for himself) and Hal Hartley did no metal work, so they referred clients to each other. I probably had the largest accumulation of Creighton/Hartley rifles in existence, but advancing age has led me to sell off those rifles I no longer use, so Ken Pendleton has several of my Creighton/Hartley rifles on consignment and for sale on Guns International, if you would like to see more examples of their collaboration.
