Best Answer

Simmons Hardware was a large chain. In the early 1900s, many companies sold what were known as "Hardware guns" or "store brand guns". One manufacturer, Crescent, made over 2 million shotguns under more than 400 different store names. If you owned Fred's hardware store, if you ordered 12 shotguns, Crescent would make them, and they would be stamped Fred's Hardware. Such was the case with Simmons (they bought a lot more than 12) Unfortunately, there are limited records, since shotguns were not regulated as they are today. 12 g shotguns were most common, 20 g less common.

Did Crescent Firearms make an Enders Royal Cannon Breech single barrel 12 gauge for Simmons Hardware Co?

The "Enders Royal" name is associated with Shapleigh Hardware of St Louis, and Crescent was one of the several manufacturers. "Cannon Breech-Simmons Hardware Co" is found on single shot guns made by J. Stevens Arms Co. But I cannot locate any information that indicates a shotgun was made with both of these trade names.

What are door knobs and locks and hings made of?

Much residential door hardware is made of brass. However, depending on the quality of the hardware more brass or less brass is used. High quality hardware (for example Baldwin Hardware or Hager Hinge) is made of heavy gauge (thickness) tarnish & scratch resistant brass. Lower quality hardware (for example Kwikset and store branded hardware) is made of thin gauge (thickness) brass. Sometimes lower quality hardware is brass clad steel or brass plated steel.
