The Ansley H. Fox involvement with Baltimore Arms Co. is a misinterpretation of a mention in an article in the 1908 Field & Stream on the A.H. Fox Gun Co.
Ansley was involved in the Fox Gun Co., Balto., MD., U.S.A. --
http://www.foxcollectors.com/baltimore_gun_co.htmIn early 1900, Ansley left to be a professional shooter for Winchester and his partners in the Fox Gun Co. reorganized as Baltimore Arms Co. and incorporated under the laws of West Virginia, with their principle place of business Baltimore. They built a gun of Frank Hollenbeck's design. It essentially went through three models in the companies short life -- the Model of 1900, the Model of 1902, and the Model of 1904. Ansley was neither an officer nor a director of Baltimore Arms Co. Whether or not he owned any stock in the company I don't know.
By late 1902, Ansley had moved to Philadelphia, and was busy founding the Philadelphia Arms Co. Baltimore Arms Co. went belly up about the time of the Baltimore fire in early 1904, but the fire didn't come to within several blocks of the factory.
Ansley bought quite a bit of machinery and fixtures of Baltimore Arms Co. for cash at the receivers sale in late 1904, resigned from Philadelphia Arms Co. in December 1904, and I believe used that equipment to found the A.H. Fox Gun Co.
There is very likely someone out there that would be very interested in having those barrels. I remember seeing a very high condition A-Grade Baltimore Arms Co. receiver with stock, and forearm, serial number 1421, but no barrels at the 1994 Maryland Arms Collectors Association gun show.
