I am needing a:

“Schoverling, Daly & Gales, New York City “

trade label….

I would appreciate any leads that could be supplied, or suggestions for substitute that would be appropriate for a case for George Lindner made Charles Daly guns.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
JBP

Not what you want, but a graphic artist could likely modify it to a case label



It's 800 kb and I could send it to you as a jpg attachment if that would help

From the December 5, 1903 Forest & Stream. The graphic artist could harvest the gun illustrations

Pretty cool Dr. Drew. And then there was VL&D in Chicago, or were they first?

This is low resolution and I don't know how long SD&G used the SD&G NEW YORK in the circle; September 24, 1910 Forest & Stream

Von Lengerke & Detmold was in New York; Von Lengerke & Antoine in Chicago

The Von Lengerke brothers were sportsmen and active trap shooters

“Oswald von I.engerke and His Wonderful Work With a Gun”
Oswald von Lengerke is one of the famous brothers of the shooting family of that name. There are six of them Fred, Justus, Herman Oswald, George and Karl. With the exception of George, all are excellent shots. George's tastes are for athletics. As the others are masters in their choice of pastimes, so George is master of his. He is an athlete all through and all over.
Oswald is some 5ft. 7in. in height, is broad shouldered, and within the last few years has become stout, weighing some 160 pounds. The exer¬cise he takes makes his flesh as hard as iron. At the traps his position is a sound one. He throws the left foot forward, bending at the knee considerably. The right foot is thrown backward, bearing but little weight. His gaze becomes fixed when he is at the score. As he says “pull” the jaws come to¬gether with a snap, the teeth close like a vise, and its ten to one when the shot is made that it is a successful one. He is good at either inanimate targets or live birds. His best score at the former is 97 out of 100, shooting at 80 single and ten pairs; at the latter 33 killed out of 35 shot at. This was in a match with Charles Heath, of Newark, for $200 a side, shooting Heath out on the thirty-fifth bird.
He has also killed as many English snipe on the Hackensack and Newark meadows in New Jersey as any man of his age living. Were it not for the cares of a busy life he would seldom be seen without a gun in his hand. It is not a hobby with him; it is an absorbing passion.
His favorite weapon is a hammerless breechloader, 5 1/4 pounds in weight, 25 inches in length of barrel, 12 gauge. Oswald is a firm believer in the light gun, especially for field work.

Parker Bros. was at 97 Chambers then 32 Warren

I did see a case label a few years ago for SD&G. As I have a few Daly's in was interested. Completely underwhelmed. So much so I didn't really follow up. It was like they just typed something on a piece of paper.

That ad Drew first posted has way more style than the label I saw.

A case by Schaefer would be appropriate. I have/had two guns in original Schaefer cases, but made by Georg Lindner. Schaefer was an agent for SD and G. Others did the same as agents for them.

Much appreciated Drew and Daryl!
If a Schaefer case is not to be found, would you advise I use the earliest label for these two hammer guns:
