These are names & locations for a firearms co established by one Ethan Allen in the state of Massachusetts USA. note that from 1847 to 1854 it was located in Worcester Mass. Allen was issued an 1837 patent by the US patent office. He also had an 1845 patent. The company is best known for its Pepperbox pistols, though they made other types as well. Ethan Allen was born Sept 2 1808 in Bellingham Massachusetts & died Jan 7 1871, still in Massachusetts though not sure where, probably Worcester
Sure is an Awful Lot of co-incidents here.
PS; The 1937 patent was on the hammer.
