I have a Long Tom shotgun ( a real Long Tom, not just a goose gun)
Internet research shows these were made for Sears by Crescent, Meriden , Stevens and Savage , maybe more.
Some have the Long Tom name in Block Letters others have a fancy Western type of lettering.
Mine has the western script and is marked Arsenal Steel ,wich was a registered name for Crescent.
Does anyone else have this gun or interest in them?
Btw mine is 16 gauge, I will post pictures tomorrow.

Re: Long Tom
I've got a 20 ga. posted on here as "the murder weapon". It is a Fulton, probably made by the same Co.Robertroadking wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:37 am I have a Long Tom shotgun ( a real Long Tom, not just a goose gun)

Re: Long Tom
That looks like one of crescents guns, I read they would put any hardware store’s name on an order If they paid for the stamp.

Re: Long Tom
Probably, tell better after I see the pictures. I have a lot of Crescent shotguns with various names on them.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Long Tom
Over the years, I have had several Crescent shotguns. The only similar one I have left is an old Forehand, also in .16 ga.

Forehand was associated with Hopkins and Allen
Re: Long Tom
Wow they came with 36 or 40 inch barrels (Had to google it), and here I thought my GGF's old Iver Johnson Champion 12 Guage with a 32 inch barrel was long and unwieldy.
