Baker 'normally' had their different gun models in blocks of serial numbers for each gun model, but during this period they had many models in the same block of serial numbers, from roughly the high 30,000 range through 51,000 or so. In that range one could find single barrel trap guns, Leaders, Paragons, Black Beauty, and a couple of others. Description: 'New Baker' Batavia, NY damascus double barrel shotgun. Possibly 12 gauge.

You have what I call a 'Trade Brand Name' shotgun but that is not technically true. A 'Trade Brand Name' shot is one that was made by a major maker for and was sold by a wholesale sporting goods dealer, a retail chain store or an independent seller (your local hardware store) who chose the name to go on the gun. A NEW BAKER MODEl shotgun (an outside hammer type) was made by the Baker Gun And Forging Company of Syracuse New York (1887 to 1919) The BAKER NEW MODEL was made from 1887 to 1894 (I have serial number-year made tables for this gun). Crescent Fire Arms Company did not start making Baker shotguns until 1920. A serial number if there is one will be stamped on the bottom of the barrels or the flat part of the receiver which is known as the watertable.
These were well made fairly inexpensive shotguns selling for between $15 to $25 new. Current value will depend on the guns condition, the amount of original finish remaining on the metal and wood as well as the mechanical condition. A Prime condition example (rare as as,these guns were used hard and received little care or maintenance) that appears to have come out of the factory yesterday afternoon might bring as much as $125 while a rusty and pitted metal, rotten or broken wood and missing parts piece of junk fit only for salvage of parts or as a whiskey still stirring stick might bring as little as $10 if it could be sold at all. Then sentimental value can't e calculated can it?
Thanks for posting your pics and congrats on owning a Baker, even it is a little ruff. If you haven't already found the site, you might check out The site includes a little history that helps explain why some people associate Baker with one city and other folks place him in another city. Baker was quite a fellow and got around quite a bit. Evidently, he often got around just a few steps in front of the law. The most notorious example is probably the night he had to climb out the window of the hotel where he was staying to avoid arrest! More well documented is the lawsuit by Stevens against Baker Gun for patent infringement. My interest stems from the fact that my late wife's uncle worked for Baker and eventually retired from it's successor.

I learned a great deal in talking with him, including the stories about clearing out all the company records and throwing them in the trash! A few years ago, circa 1995, there was a young guy who was trying to write a history of the company and its guns. I haven't heard from him in years and haven't seen the book anywhere so I guess that it has not been published.
As far as I know, there is nothing like a Baker Collector's Club, but several years ago I met some folks through the L.C. Smith Collectors Association who knew a great deal about Baker guns.

The is a collector's market for Baker guns, but it's very limited, the higher end models are the most sought after, and condition means everything. Do a search for Baker Batavia Leader and you'll find quite a range of prices. There is also someone out there selling reproductions of a Batavia Gun metal advertising sign as well as the 1915 catalog. Well, best of luck and thanks again for posting. Baker designed and was associated with several pre-1900 double gun companies prior to 1900; and although I can't remember all the company associations, after selling his interest in one of those companies, he started a new company manufacturing his 'New Baker' model hammer gun (I think W.H.

LSB#: 150211GT03
Make: F. T. Baker (Frederick Thomas Baker)
Model: Sided Opening, Hammered, Side by Side
Serial Number: 6224 (On Barrels Only)
Year of Manufacture: 1882 – 1898 (Based on 21 Cockspur St. address)
Gauge: 12 Gauge, 2 ¾” Shells
Action Type: Right Side Lever Opening, Side by Side (SxS) with Exterior Hammers, Double Triggers and Extractor
Markings: The top of the barrel rib is marked “Frederick . T. Baker . Gun Manufacturer . 21 . Cockspur St. Pall Mall . London. – Barrels Made Of Vickers Steel”. The underside of the barrel rib, ahead of the forearm, is marked “For 2 ¾ Inch Cartridge. The underside of each barrel is marked ”6224”. The left barrel flat is marked with a London Proof, a Crown over “V” (view mark), a Crown over “CP” (London final proof), “12B”, “3.N” and “NOT FOR BALL”. The right barrel flat has all the same markings and also “JW”. The forearm is unmarked except for full coverage engraving. Each side of the water table has a Crown over “V” view mark and the breach face is marked “F.T.BAKER” although it is difficult to read. Each side plate is marked “FredC T. Baker”. There is full coverage engraving on the shotgun receiver and hammers, with only the triggers and lower tang/trigger guard excepted. The underside of the receiver has a circular “FTB” trade mark.
Barrel Length: 30”
Choke: The left barrel is about Improved Cylinder and the right barrel is about Modified.
Sights / Optics: This shotgun is mounted with small steel bead front sight.
Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are checkered walnut. The forearm is almost entirely checkered. It shows some flattening and wear, with handling and compression marks scattered throughout. The forearm shows no chips or cracks. The buttstock is straight wristed in the English style. An about 1/8” chip is missing from the right front side of the comb and the toe shows an about 1” repair where a piece broke off and was put back in place. The checkering on the wrist has survived in much better shape than the forearm. There are handling and compression marks scattered throughout, with one scratch clearly visible on the right hand side near the buttplate. The LOP measures 14 3/8” from the front of the forward trigger to the back of the of the horn buttplate. The LOP measures 13 ½” from the front of the rear trigger to the back of the of the horn buttplate. The buttplate has some fine scratches from use and about half a dozen worm holes from age. The stocks rate in about Very Good overall condition as antique.
Type of Finish: The barrels were blue and the receiver in-the-white.
Finish Originality: Original
Bore Condition: The bores are semi-bright. There is scattered erosion throughout both bores.
Overall Condition: This shotgun retains about 25% of its metal finish. The balance of the finish on the barrels shows brown patina and scattered pinprick erosion. The engraved portion of the receiver shows a gray patina and the unengraved triggers, trigger guard and lower tang show a brown patina, with much lighter pinprick erosion than the barrels. The screw heads all show signs of use, but remain sharp. The checkering on the hammers and the side lever are unmarred and retain their ‘grip’. The markings are largely clear except for the breach face. Overall, this shotgun rates in about Very Good condition as an antique.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly, however it appears that the left firing pin spring is either broken or absent. The right side firing pin is not retained by a nut as is the left firing pin. Further, the threads that would secure the firing pin nut have apparently fractured away. We have not fired this shotgun.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None
Our Assessment: This 12 gauge side by side is marked for 2 ¾” shells, black powder only we suspect. It was made by Frederic T. Baker of London in the 1890s and has tasteful engraving on the forearm’s metalwork and the receiver. The buttplate is smooth horn. The barrels open by means of a side lever and there is a single extractor which works upon opening. It appears that the left firing pin spring is either broken or absent. The right side firing pin is not retained by a nut as is the left firing pin. Further, the threads that would secure the firing pin nut have apparently fractured away. The shotgun has a century’s worth of use marking the wood, but easily remains in Very Good overall condition for an antique.
