This small .22 caliber revolver (10) was well received. By mid-1859, the firm had completely outgrown its small shop at 5 Market Street and began construction of a new Stockbridge Street. This building (11)was completed in January, 1860, and Smith & Wesson moved to their larger location. 53/44 Reprinted from the American Society of Arms Collectors Bulletin 53:44-58 Additional articles available at http://americansocietyofarmscollectors.org/resources/articles/ Horace Smith (2)and D.B.

  • Early Brand Development in the U.S. Firearms Industry
    CHARM 2011 Proceedings Early Brand Development in the U.S. Firearms Industry Terrence H. Witkowski Department of Marketing, California State University, Long Beach, USA 194 Abstract Purpose – This paper traces the development of four major U.S. firearms brands – Colt, Remington, Smith & Wesson, and Winchester – from their origins in the mid 19 th century until 1914. These are some of the longest lived and most iconic brand names in U.S. business history. Although American guns and the companies that made them have garnered a sizeable literature, their history from the marketing perspective of brand development has not been adequately researched and written. Design/methodology/approach – Primary data sources include product markings, newspaper and magazine advertisements, flyers and posters, and a variety of other promotional materials produced by manufacturers and distributors. These data were obtained from the secondary literature on U.S. firearms history, via Internet searches using Google Images, and from an analysis of Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward catalogs. Research limitation/implications – The primary data set is still being assembled and findings are tentative. Most evidence was examined in the form of images reproduced in books and on the Internet, not as original artifacts. This research adds to marketing management knowledge of brand longevity and iconography. The study also contributes to advertising history, the literature on U.S. firearms, and marketing and public policy understanding of the U.S. gun culture. Keywords – Brand development, brand longevity, brand iconography, U.S. firearms industry, Colt, Remington, Smith & Wesson, Winchester Paper Type – Research Paper Introduction Some of the oldest brands in the history of the United States have been those of its domestic firearms companies.

  • White Cliffs Architecture and History (2015)
    Architectural and Historical Information on Daniel Wesson’s White Cliffs Mansion in Northborough Normand D. Corbin November 2015 Attached is a report on the Daniel B. Wesson Mansion (White Cliffs) in Northborough Massachusetts. It contains architectural information along with information regarding Mr. Wesson, the Smith & Wesson Company and the advanced water system he built to support the water features used on this property. 1) Architectural Overview The Shingle Style of architecture of the Victorian Era is considered by some architectural historians (Vincent Scully) to be the first truly American architectural style, rooted in the geometry and details of the Colonial period. We do know that Wesson hired Bruce Price to design a house for him in Springfield after completion of White Cliffs. Price was a New York architect, mostly remembered for his design of Tuxedo Park, north of NYC and Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City. We also know that Daniel Wesson hired Calvert Vaux to design a house in Worcester for his daughter and her new husband, Dr. Bull, several years before the construction of White Cliffs. Vaux was a partner of Frederick Law Olmstead during the design and construction of Central Park in NYC. Although the architect for White Cliffs has not been identified (we are still looking for this information), it is highly probable that Wesson hired an architect versed in the Shingle Style. After the deaths of his wife’s parents, Daniel B. Wesson (of Smith & Wesson fame) agreed to his wife’s request that they build a summer home at her childhood address. This mansion was built when he was 61 years old and completed in 1886.

  • Smith & Wesson Rarities, 1854
    Smith & Wesson Rarities, 1854 - 1900 David R. Burghoff The intent of this presentation is to outline the early product development of Smith & Wesson arms for the purpose of identifying rare models and variations. Rarity ranges from the unobtainable on down to guns that are simply hard to find in fine original condition. An attempt will be made to deal with actual production models, although at times it is difficult to draw a line between the experimental and limited production. The period 1854- 1900 was chosen because it spans development from the very beginning up to the introduction of the hand ejectors which represent current revolver technology. The chart, (opposite), is arranged chronologically by frame size and caliber; exceptions are noted. This format was chosen to give an overview of the years to be dis- cussed. In the relatively small manufacturing environment of New England, it was probable that Horace Smith and D.B. Wesson would become acquainted through arms Because of limited production, iron frame Volcanics are industry activities.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Smith & Wesson Historian Roy Jinks Celebrates 50th NRA Meeting SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (May 19, 2009) – Smith & Wesson Corp., the legendary 157-year old firearms maker, announced today that renowned company historian, Roy G. Jinks, attended his 50th National Rifle Association (NRA) convention last weekend in Phoenix, Arizona. In celebration of his dedication to the NRA and the preservation of firearms history, Smith & Wesson President and CEO, Michael F. Golden, along with NRA Executive Vice President, Wayne LaPierre, presented Jinks with an engraved Smith & Wesson Model 29 during the 2009 NRA Annual Meeting & Exhibits. The revolver depicts the NRA logo on the sideplate along with the words “50 Years of Dedicated Service” along the barrel. “Since becoming the company historian in 1970, Roy has played a crucial role in preserving the history of Smith & Wesson, from the first meeting of Horace Smith and D.B. Wesson to its current operation,” said Golden. “Roy has spent countless hours reviewing archived files, documenting memorabilia and answering thousands of letters from people all over the world. His knowledge of Smith & Wesson and of the firearms industry has been a source of amazement and inspiration to firearms owners and collectors everywhere. Likewise, his passion for history and for the continuation of the shooting sports is one of the key fundamentals that both the NRA and Smith & Wesson fully support.” Born in Rochester, New York, Jinks’ love of firearms began at an early age. But it wasn’t until Jinks began a relationship with avid and experienced firearms collector Tony Fidd, that his prowess in firearms collecting was fully achieved.

  • DMRPC 2019 Fall V1
    DESERT MARKSMEN RIFLE & PISTOL CLUB ANTELOPE VALLEY, CA 2019 FALL EDITION *WHAT’S HAPPENING AT DMRPC?* FIRE WEATHER CLOSURES Recently the DMRPC complex has been temporarily closed in periods of extreme fire danger, something that rarely occurs. This decision was made by DMRPC leadership based upon extreme fire danger levels (Red Flag), fire incidents that were ongoing at the time, and the reduced availability of resources from local fire management agencies. Weather data gathered at the DMRPC onsite weather station recorded single digit humidity levels, and sustained wind speeds at fourteen MPH. Frequent wind gusts were over twenty-five MPH as measured using a Kestrel meter. Currently, the DMRPC complex still has a large volume of brush clearance work to be done, in spite of a recent USFS fire inspection report that showed good progress on our part. That is commendable, but let us not forget that brush clearance is a year-round requirement that entails constant maintenance. This large volume of highly flammable brush, coupled with dry, windy, fire weather conditions, and poor emergency vehicle access with delayed response times, are all factors that were taken into account with regards to the range closure decision. This decision was not taken lightly, as DMRPC members and associated activities were disrupted. As DMRPC is currently in negotiations with USFS in an effort to renew our lease agreement, it is especially prudent that we demonstrate good stewardship of the land entrusted to us, and that of course means we not be the cause of any fire incidents. At this time, we do not know if these closures will be repeated; we do ask members and their escorted guests to be ever vigilant about the potential for wildland fires and to take precautions.

  • Made with American Pride
    Made with American Pride 2004 Smith & Wesson – An All American Company Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson came from old New England families. Horace learned the firearms trade while working at the National Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts. Daniel’s experience came from apprenticing with his brother Edwin Wesson, the leading maker of target rifles and pistols in the 1840s. The two men formed their first partnership in 1852 in Norwich, Connecticut, with the aim of marketing a lever action repeating pistol that could use a fully self-contained cartridge. This first pistol venture was not a financial success, and by 1854 the company was having financial difficulties. Faced with their financial difficulties, they were forced to sell their company to a shirt manufacturer by the name of Oliver Winchester. In 1866, using the original lever action design created by Smith & Wesson, Winchester’s company emerged as the famous Winchester Repeating Arms Co. In 1856 Smith & Wesson formed their second partnership to produce a small revolver designed to fire the Rimfire cartridge they patented in August of 1854. This revolver was the first successful fully self- contained cartridge revolver available in the world. Smith and Wesson secured patents for the revolver to prevent other manufacturers from producing a cartridge revolver – giving the young company a very lucrative business. The partners realized that when their patents expired they would need a new design to maintain their market superiority. The new design was completed in 1869 and the company began marketing it in 1870. The Model 3 American, as it became known in the United States, was the first large caliber cartridge revolver and established Smith & Wesson as a world leader in handgun manufacturing.
