The site is up and running at www.bakercollectors.com
I have just started to add stuff.
What I need now are photos and more information.
Please do visit if just to see what's happening. The more hits on the internet will move it up on the search engines so that somebody researching Bakers will be able to find it.
I have learned more about Bakers today than I ever expected.
Now I guess I will have to go out and find one or more.

Great start, but I have some nits to pick.

The site says guns of W.H. Baker and pictures a gun designed and produced well after he was dead. A gun he had little to nothing to do with the design of. Much more the gun of (?) Frank A. Hollenbeck's design.

The paragraphs under 1887 and 1889 are all wrong. The trigger-plate hammer gun first built by Syracuse Forging and Gun Co. was an A.C. McFarland design, Patent No. 370,966. The last W.H. Baker design gun to be manufactured was the Ithaca Gun Co.'s Baker Model hammer gun. Syracuse Forging & Gun Co. moved to Batavia, NY, in February 1889, and William H. Baker died of TB in the early morning hours of October 10, 1889. The company name was changed to Baker Gun & Forging Co. on April 2, 1890. The "Baker" in the name is the owner, Dr. Ellis L. Baker, the founder and President of the company, who controlled it.

Researcher,
You are absolutely right. The content has been changed to reflect the corrections.
Please keep up the "nitpicking" so that we can have an accurate source of information.

Congratulations Dr. Bob: A superb start to a worthy name. I will try to post pictures of my two Bakers: A Folsom era Paragon, and an Elite SBT.

Best Regards, George
