Nan and I had the pleasure yet again of spending the day with JTC and his wife, Linda. We had a great time looking at pictures and talking. He has had this rifle that was built by Roe Clark himself and when I first saw it, it was love at first sight. It began life as a Fox Sterlingworth 16ga field grade. It ended up as a 45-70 rifle. It is really a unique little piece and I am proud as hell to have it living with me. I say off topic but in reality it isn't. John did a really thorough letter adding to the provenance of the piece.
Also he gave me a picture of an assembly line at the Utica factory. My guess would be between 1935-1940. Admittedly, a picture of a picture isn't that great.
