Man holding up a copy of the Lancaster New Era newspaper with the headline "Fire! Man, What a Fire in Suburbs of Ronks - Local Tobacconist Loses 2 Buildings, Has No Insurance".
Rifle with flint lock. Stock of maple wood, octogonal barrel, brass mountings and patch box cover of wood. Marked Joel Ferree on top facet of barrel. Mid-eighteenth century.
Flintlock rifle, maple full stock, brass mounted, silver inlay on the cheek side, octagonal barrel, 48 inches long. Although this rifle has an unusually long barrel its most unusual feature is the signature of the maker, G. Weiker, on the lid of the patch box. On a few of his products he is known to have included the price on the lid of the patch box which was usually $15. Weiker was an expert in the technique of incised carving. His rifles are rare and usually command a high price because of his novel method of advertising.
