Well, I was hoping this oddity would sell for a meager price and then bring it to light here. But as long as it is in the open...
I have found a few newspaper articles circa 1915 and it seems the factory was up and going by 1894 but before any number of guns could be assembled the Bank called a Note of some $8000 dollars. All the money was tied up in materials. The Bank forclosed and the assets sold. The article stated that only 18 guns had been completed.
So gents, as a curio of early American doubles, how would you now set a price?
