Sharps rifles are a series of large-bore, single-shot, falling-block, breech-loading rifles, beginning with a design by Christian Sharps in 1848 and ceasing production in 1881. They were renowned for long-range accuracy. By 1874, the rifle was available in a variety of calibers, and it was one of the few designs to be successfully adapted to metallic cartridge use. The Sharps rifles became icons of the American Old West with their appearances in many Western-genre films and books. Perhaps as a result, several rifle companies offer reproductions of the Sharps rifle. Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company was the manufacturer of the Sharps Rifle. The company was organized by Samuel Robbins and Richard S. Lawrence as a holding company in Hartford, Connecticut, on October 9, 1851 with $100,000 in capital. Despite Sharps departing from the company bearing his name, Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company produced over 100,000 rifles, but it dissolved in 1881 with the widespread use of repeating rifles. ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Est. $130-200 Scripophily - Industrial & Manufacturing New York 415 415 Standard Cordage Co., 1906, Specimen Bond New York, 1906. $100 Specimen 5% First Mortgage Gold Coupon Bond, Black on olive green border and underprint, Allegorical group at top, Specimen overprints and POCs, VF-XF condition, ABNC. ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Est. $50-100 416 416 Utica and Mohawk Cotton Mills, Inc., 1937 Stock Certificate Book With 400+ I/C StockCertificates.
