That's awesome Thanks for sharing. I am not sure if it was that display or the Colt display that a gun writer stated an incredibly ignorant janitor or maintenance man burned it to keep warm when the factory closed.

Anyone know what Blue Rival or New Rival were? Looks like a shot shell?

Wish there was a better closeup of the rifles. Almost looks like a musket in that far right of that glass case.

Coooool!!! There was a really great BBQ restaurant here in Phoenix AZ. Would make my parents drag me there. Not for a stellar pulled pork sandwich. For the western memorabilia. Had a colossal Winchester cartridge board. Thing was easy 3x5 so cool all those old shells.

Actually, I have this saved as being from the 1895 Sportsmen's Exposition at Madison Square Gardens. Click for full sized.
