Ted, that is interesting stuff. Add Baker Gun and Forging Company to your list. I seem to recall that at one time they had an order for like 10,000 hammers for their drop forging business. They produced many auto parts for around 10 years. I am sure I am forgetting other things.

In 1893 Frank Hollenbeck left Baker Gun & Forging and started the Syracuse Arms Company.
Two years later, in July of 1895 he left his gun company in the care of its investors and went to work making bicycles parts.

"Outing" April 1897

January 1900 he joined the Baltimore Arms Co., but shortly thereafter moved to West Virginia and started the Hollenbeck Gun Co.
