Help with .22 info

[jdietz]

You know it is a good day when you get to hold two different .22s that you have never seen before.

I need some info on these two .22s if anyone has it.

1) .22 single shot

On the barrel is "The Hamilton Rifle NO 27 22cal

Patented Oct 30, 1900-Aug 13, 1907

Mfd by C.O. Hamilton & Son Plymouth, Mi"

2) .22 Single Shot Rolling Block design

On the barrel is "Model A Target Page-Lewis CO

Chicopee Falls, Mass .22 Patent applied for"

Thank you in advance for the help.

Hamilton made boy's rifles. I don't have a reference at hand to look at models, but here's a 'collector grade' No. 27 that sold for $280.

Page-Lewis guns were made by 2 guys who had worked for Stevens iirc and left to make guns and ended up selling the company to Stevens in the 1920s.

Okay, here's a start http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143359
