E.C. Meacham Co., St Louis was indeed a big name, and along with H.S.& B. probably held the record for tradenames. E.C.M.A.Co, Eclipse Beauty, Eclipse Beaver, Eclipse Company, Eclipse Gun Co., Patent 488316 Dec 20 1892, Meteor, Giant, Giant Gun Co., GunCo, Leader Belgium, Hercules, and Star were all Aciens Establissment Pieper / Henri Pieper guns made for Meacham. It is possible that Crescent produced guns have the same tradenames also.



We might also add Fred Biffar & Co., Chicago.
