A Parker Brothers 12 gauge #2 frame built in 1901. I still shoot 5-stand with it from time to time, the shotgun is choked IC and light modified which is perfect

Dunno when, but built by this fella; https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/80751762/david-hall-hilliardThat and a Stevens 44 built in the late 1800s, a Winchester 1890 that was Gramp's first gun, built in 1912.
I am..........disturbed.

Mine would be a Burnside Carbine, in surprisingly good shape. Never fired it though.

The oldest ones I shoot are my great-grandpa's 1899 Savage, ca.1902, and his daughter-in-law- my grandma's- Marlin 1893, ca. 1900. Guess Grandma had to take the old one. Still in the family are great-grandpa's Rem. 12 gauge side by side, Grandpa's Model 94 Winchester (he used the new one while grandma had the Marlin, but they're very close in age) and his Ithaca Model 37 in 16 Gauge, with probably a total of of under 100 shells through it, & a couple High Standard .22s. Have fired them all, and will continue to as they come to live with me. The old lever guns are really fun for my grandkids, with cast bullets and light loads.

M92 Winchester octagon barrel in .25-20. I never could figure out what they used that cartridge for, but it was step dad's father's rifle and a gift, so I keep it.
My other auto is a .45

S&W I-frame, .32 Long. By the serial number , made in 1915. Only S&W firearm I've ever owned. Bought at LGS in 1980. Talley so far, one armadillo that stayed in wife's flower garden too long.

I guess my oldest is a Dutch Beaumont from the 1870s-'80s , next would be my Westley Richards Mauser from 1898.
