What is the history of the Hamilton .22 Caliber Rifles ?
Clarence Hamilton, along with other investors, started the Plymouth Iron Windmill Company in 1882. Along with a friend, he started producing an all-metal air rifle to be given as a bonus to those purchasing an iron windmill. By 1895, more rifles were being produced than windmills. From 1898 to 1945, the Hamilton Rifle Company of Plymouth produced fourteen different models of rifles. For a more complete history, please see the Hamilton .22 Cal. Rifles web site. Current price listings are also given on this site. Additional information in book format may be found in It’s a Daisy by Cass Hough.
