Although not a high grade gun, W.H. Davenport(H&A) built some hammerless ejector guns that fit this catagory.

C. W. Dimick of United States Cartridge Co. and other manufacturers' reps (including Winchester and UMC) founded the American Shooting Association Feb. 11 1889. S.A. “Tuck” Tucker, Parker's sales agent and Capt. A. W. duBray (then a sergeant in the U. S. army) were consulting board members of the newly formed ASA, and “Tuck” wrote the handicap rules. Dimick was President and L.C. Smith was a Director. The ASA dissolved in 1892 and the Interstate Manufacturers and Dealers Assn., “Interstate Assn.” took over organized trap shooting. More on Dickey http://library.la84.org/SportsLibrary/SportingLife/1898/VOL_30_NO_26/SL3026023.pdf I believe Dickey was later a USCC Professional Rep.

J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. offered some single barrel trap guns before The Great War -- In the early 1920s, J. Stevens Arms Co. offered the "Trap Shooter's Fancy" -- I've never seen either of these Stevens offerings in person.
