I didn't know the Gemmer Hawken was even a thing until the project was almost done. Funny how things work out. ______________________ Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie? | |||

J.P. Gemmer. Unless my memory has completely failed, which is possible, he took over from the Hawken boys and went until 1912 I believe. That or opened up after they closed...maybe? I better shut up, my memory of that history is blanking out. DRSS: E. M. Reilley 500 BPE E. Goldmann in Erfurt, 11.15 X 60R Those who fail to study history are condemned to repeat it | |||

Gemmer bought the Hawken business from Samual Hawken in 1862 and operated it intil 1915. http://books.google.com/books?...=jp%20gemmer&f=false ______________________ Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie? | |||
