Who made Eastern Arms shotguns?
Eastern Arms was a Sears Roebuck trade name. Manufacturers included Meriden Firearms, Iver Johnson A&C, Stevens/Savage Arms, and Crescent Firearms.
Who and when was an Eastern Arms .32 Cal. break open 5 shot revolver serial number 95420 made.?
EASTERN ARMS CO. was a tradename used by Sears Roebuck & Company on revolvers made by Meriden Firearms.Meriden Arms was 30% owned by Sears, and manufactured a line of top-break revolvers and shotguns in the 1905 to 1920 timeframe. Almost all their production went to Sears. The Meriden revolvers closely resembled the Iver Johnson revolvers of the time because the plant manager at Meriden, Andrew Fryberg, had previously worked for Iver Johnson. And unfortunately, there are no public records of exactly when a particular gun was made by them.
Who made the Eastern Arms 12 ga model 1929?
I found Eastern Arms Co. as being made by Meriden Arms Co. owned by A. J. Aubrey. Eastern Arms were sold by Sears Roebuck & Co. Ken G - You are right and wrong. Meriden Arms did make guns with the Eastern Arms name, but the company was owned by Sears. A J Aubrey was an executive with another firearms manufacturer (Parker Brothers, I believe) that Sears hired to manage the company. The company only existed from 1905 or 1907 until 1915 or 1918 (different sources, different dates). I don't think a gun marked "Model 1929" was made by Meriden. I'm still looking for that model number by another manufacturer. There's a question about a WYCO Model 1929 down at the bottom of this page, too, and I suspect it is the same gun.
Did eastern arms company manufacture the Ranger 22 rifle for sears?
There are probably some Ranger and Eastern Arms models that are identical since Sears owned both tradenames, but there was no actual manufacturer named Eastern Arms. If any Ranger firearms were made between 1905 and 1915 they would have been manufactured by Meriden Firearms, but most of the later ones were made by Savage/Stevens.
What is a Howard Arms 32 revolver hammerless model?

What is the value of a Howard Arms co 38 hammerless revolver?

What is the value of a eastern arms 38 revolver?
Eastern Arms was a Sears Roebuck trade name and the only reference I find listing a .38 revolver says they were made by Meriden Arms, which was a Sears subsidiary and in business only from c. 1905-1915. If your gun has grips marked Forhand Arms, I'd bet that the whole gun was made by that company and marked with the Sears name. That would agree with your estimate of the age as the Forehand name was used from 1890 to 1902. The only top-break .38 Revolver I find listed is the "Perfection Automatic" but my references disagree on the exact dates of production. The Standard Catalog of Firearms says 1898-1902 while The 1983 Official Price Guide says they were all made before 1899. The Standard Catalog suggests a value of $150 in NRA Very Good condition. I don't think the Eastern name would affect the value either way.

No one, since the company only existed as a Sears Roebuck tradename. These guns were made by Meriden Fire Arms Co, J. Stevens Arms Co, Andrew Fyrberg & Co, Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works, and probably other manufacturers.
Who made a 16 gauge Eastern Arms shotgun and when?
AnswerEastern Arms was a trade name of Sears Roebuck. From about 1905 - 1915 it would probably have been made by Meriden Firearms, a company owned by Sears. Later guns were probably made by J. Stevens Arms. But since the low bid got the contract, some were made by Crescent, Iver Johnson, and others.Sears sold guns under the Eastern Arms name after WWII as well. Eastern Arms guns made by Stevens were marked 101.7. Any guns sold by Sears that were made by Marlin were marked 103.xx with numbers after the decimal indicating a specific model.
How much is national arms 32 cal revolver marked 666?
The name "National Arms" was used by several unrelated companies at different times. If yours is a top break .32, it was probably made by Meriden in the early 1900s. Value will be based on condition, but unless new-in-box, these are not very expensive guns- about $100-$150.
