Baltimore Arms Co., initiated in January 1900 and ending business in October 1904, was a "predecessor" to A H Fox Gun Co. Ansley Fox was involved in the business, but was mostly preoccupied with competition shooting at that time. The Fox Gun Co., Baltimore used a patent issued to Frank Hollenbeck.
You've got that bass ackwards, Stan. Read my article in the latest Fox Collectors Newsletter. That is a chapter of McIntosh's book that needs a rewrite, as does the chapter on Philadelphia Arms Co.
The Fox Gun Co., Balto., MD., U.S.A. and Philadelphia Arms Co. can be considered predecessors to the A.H. Fox Gun Co.
Baltimore Arms Co. was a blip in the history of Frank A. Hollenbeck guns. Ansley H. Fox was neither an officer or director of Baltimore Arms Co. and during the years of its existence he was either working for Winchester or busy founding Philadelphia Arms Co.
