Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. Model 235 is a classic American double-barrel shotgun that reflects the practical craftsmanship and working-class utility for which Stevens was widely respected in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Produced by J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co., the Model 235 was a side-by-side shotgun designed to be durable, affordable, and dependable rather than ornate, making it a popular choice among farmers, hunters, and outdoorsmen who needed a reliable field gun. Typically encountered in common sporting gauges such as 12 or 16, the Model 235 features exposed external hammers, a break-open action with double triggers, and extractors rather than ejectors—hallmarks of straightforward, mechanically simple shotgun design. Barrels were usually fluid steel and fitted to a solid frame with a top-lever opening system, providing secure lockup and easy operation in the field. Stocks were generally straight-gripped or pistol-gripped walnut with modest checkering or plain finishes, emphasizing function over embellishment while still retaining the traditional lines expected of a classic American double. The external hammer configuration allowed shooters to carry the shotgun safely with hammers down and visually confirm its condition, a feature especially appreciated in an era when field safety practices emphasized mechanical simplicity and user awareness. While the Model 235 was not intended as a high-grade sporting arm, its balance, natural pointing characteristics, and rugged construction made it effective for upland game, small game, and general farm use. Today, surviving examples of the Stevens Model 235 are valued by collectors and enthusiasts of early American shotguns for their honest design, historical significance, and representation of a period when firearms were built to be practical tools first and foremost, embodying the utilitarian spirit of Stevens’ long-standing contribution to American gunmaking.
