Lot 1094:
Collection of 10 Providence Tool Co. Peabody Patent Rifle Parts, Sight Base, Tools, and Documentation
Sold for: $130
Description
A collection of 10 distinct items related to the historic Peabody Patent Rifle, manufactured by the Providence Tool Co. The lot centers around a large, glossy black-finished metal component, likely a receiver sight base or tang sight base, clearly marked with a bird logo and “PROVIDENCE TOOL CO.”. Accompanying the part is a printed document titled “PEABODY PATENT RIFLES (BREECH LOADING METALLIC CARTRIDGE) MANUFACTURED BY THE PROVIDENCE TOOL CO.” The collection also includes several small accessory parts: two small black screws, a small black lever component, and two partially broken brass figure-eight shims. Two specialized tools are present: a packaged Regal Cutting Tools #11-36 tap and an unmarked high-speed steel drill bit. The entire assortment was shipped in a worn cardboard box labeled “FIRST CLASS” and addressed from “Providence Tool Company, LLC,” bearing the numeric marking “7591,” suggesting these components are modern reproductions or new-old-stock items distributed by a contemporary entity using the historic name. No complete firearm or ammunition is present.
