As most "Trade Name" guns were sold through retailers who were offering them at lower cost than the original Name, I seriously doubt that extra was charged for the name change. I do highly suspect a minimum quantity of guns had to be ordered in order to have the different name applied & most likely they were made to "Stock" without options as was often available from the make such as different chokes, stock fit etc.

Here is a link to some Baker info:

All the Baker C grade guns I have found (does not matter who's stamping) have 50,xxx ser# range. There is a later (1915?) boxlock. The Baker Standard and Baker Ejector,that is similar but not the same gun.

From Daryls site:
List of Trade/Sellers names on C grade Bakers:
New Era Gun Works
Montgomery Wards
New Haven Arms Co.(E.K.Tryon & Great Western Gun Works, Pittsburgh)
W. A. Abel & Co. Syracuse, NY
The Imperial, Clark's Imperial, Omaha, Neb

Thx all!

Very nice, Jason.

Do those barrels carry the H.R.F. initials on the tube undersides?

Don't know. Sold that one a few years back.

Thanks for the discussion of an interesting but little known American trade gun. I looked at the picture, saw the hook at the top of the frame, and said "that's a Syracuse" and forget the thread till I came back and read what your research and knowledge turned up.

Comparing the pins in the sides and the bottom of the frame, my SAC ia way different from the gun shown. And besides my Bakers are all sidelocks. You have to pay attention around here!..Geo
