In my opinion, the greatest of the turn-of-the-century Live Bird and Inanimate Target shooters was Fred Gilbert. He used a Smith when he came from Iowa to win the 1st DuPont Live Bird Championship in 1895, then switched to a Parker after the 1899 GAH.
Another great was W.R. Crosby who started as a Baker rep (the only Baker rep that I have found) then switched to a Smith until 1906 when he went to a Parker. He shot an Ithaca 5E SBT at the end of his career.
