From my records, L.C. Smith went to William Baker in 1877 to be with his brother Leroy to help with some of the finances and joined up with them as principal owner. The double barrel guns started at serial number 1600 and went to 9,999 and had L.C. Smith Maker of Baker Guns, Syracuse, N.Y. The lock plate had Baker's Pat'on the sides.
The early 3 barrel guns had no serial number and Daryl Halquist was going to get back to me on when Baker started putting serial numbers on 3 barrel guns. The earliest that I have is 155 a No.1 12x12x44-40. The earliest Smith Baker double is 1601 B grade 12 gauge.
So if my research is correct, Ken's two guns were made my William Baker and Co. Lyle, N.Y.

To me, the later Baker guns are different, at this time it is when Baker left Ithaca after 1883 and returned and his brother joined him to make the Baker gun.
