Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ideal single-shot shotgun represents a class of firearms commonly produced and sold during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when trade-name branding was widespread in the shotgun market. Manufacturers and importers supplied simple, affordable break-action single-shot shotguns that were often stamped with names chosen by wholesalers, catalog houses, or retail stores rather than the actual maker. The name Ideal in the United States is also associated with the Ideal Manufacturing Company, which Marlin acquired in 1910; this company specialized exclusively in reloading tools and bullet molds, and later passed to the Lyman Gun Sight Company in 1925. Neither Marlin nor Lyman manufactured firearms under the Ideal name, so shotguns marked Ideal were likely produced by smaller American makers or imported from Europe. These single-shot shotguns were utilitarian arms intended for hunting, farm use, and general sporting purposes, constructed using the materials and technology of their era. As a result, the Ideal single-shot shotgun stands as an example of early trade-name firearms commerce, reflecting both the demand for economical firearms and the marketing practices of the period rather than the output of a specific major gunmaker.
