Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The "Trade Brand Name" shotgun, specifically the Worthington Challenger, reflects a unique facet of the firearms market between 1880 and 1940, when the demand for personalized shotguns was high. This single-shot, top-break shotgun, manufactured by Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works and sold by George Worthington & Company of Cleveland, Ohio, represents a period of significant interest in customized and branded firearms. Chambered for 16 gauge shells, the Worthington Challenger features a 28-inch barrel that provides a practical balance between handling and shooting performance. The shotgun's blue finish, described as "In the White," denotes that it was sold without the final bluing process, offering a raw, classic appearance. The brass bead front sight ensures effective target acquisition, while the smooth hardwood stock and synthetic forearm contribute to both its traditional look and modern durability. The top-break action facilitates straightforward loading and unloading, enhancing user convenience. The "Trade Brand Name" aspect underscores the era's trend of branding, where major manufacturers like Iver Johnson met the market's demand for custom-named models by stamping various trade names on their basic designs. Overall, the Worthington Challenger is a testament to the customizable nature of early shotgun production and remains a valuable piece for collectors and enthusiasts interested in the historical evolution of firearm branding.
