In early 1895 Crescent introduced it's first hammerless double, the Triumph Hammerless, made in 12 gauge with either 30" or 32" Twist barrels. The gun was based on patents issued to William Beesley and controlled by Charles Lancaster and was the only boxlock hammerless double ever made by Crescent. These shotguns were made on order for Sears Roebuck & Co. and probably less than 750 were made. It was listed in the 1897 Sears catalog for $27.50

The gun was dropped from the Crescent line in 1898 and Crescent would not produce another hammerless double until 1904 when the sidelock Model 6 was introduced.

There were 2 firearms patent granted that day.

This is for a safety

This is the American patent filed by Fredrick Beesley

I believe it is the 1st patent by Altmaier that the stamp refers to.

Thank you Drew for your reply and the link to the Sears catalog. The Sears ad for my shotgun was very interesting and informative.
