Interesting, and not surprising complimentary production of bicycles/components by gun makers.   1897  Hunter Crown Steel Tubing  Crown steel gun barrels were introduced for the Pigeon Gun in 1893, and the tubes were no doubt Belgian. No way today to know if the same steel was used without a composition analysis. No mention of the chains?

Hunter Arms N.Y. Showroom Feb. 13, 1897 http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/SportingLife/1897/VOL_28_NO_21/SL2821023.pdf The "Hunter Arms Company," Fulton, N. Y., have removed all their stock and fixtures from their temporary quarters at 300 Broadway, N. Y., to No.310, where they occupy one-half of that large, light store with Thomas Conroy. The premises include basement and sub-cellar. They will have plenty of room here to display the Hunter wheels, as well as Smith guns. This wheel is fast, coming to the front, in fact all it needs is advertising. This is the first time the Hunter Arms Company have ever had a good show room in New York. http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/SportingLife/1897/VOL_30_NO_04/SL3004020.pdf Oct 16, 1897 Thos. Hunter, of the Hunter Arms Co., Fulton, N. Y.. makers of the L. C. Smith gun, spent a few days in the East recently taking orders for L. C. Smith guns and Hunter wheels. "Ride a Hunter, shoot a Smith," was the advice which he was giving out free of cost, and he found plenty of people taking advantage of such good advice.

Did Fox make a bicycle ? Hollenbeck made a Hygienic Bicycle seat. Winchester must have made a bicycle, they made everything else.
