Charles E. Overbaugh & Company, NY


F. Huels, Madison, Wisconsin

If F. Huels was born circa 1846, he could have attained the rank of master by at least 1870, when PeteM notes he was at August Herfurth.

In 1857, the gunsmiths in Madison, Dane County were T.N. Bovee, Herfurth(August) & Anschutz(F.W.) and C. Lamb. I'm curious if F. Huels worked a stint in each shop.

By 1880, the trio of gunsmiths in Madison were:

William Flohr, father(not son) of Dentist or Doctor Eugene W. Flohr. I wonder if he was related to gunsmiths Andrew & nephew Charles Flohr of California. I believe William Flohr's father(not grandfather) was from Alsace-Lorraine, Germany.

F. Huels
