Description
A vintage C. J. Hamilton & Son Model 27 single-shot rifle, commonly referred to as a “Boys Rifle” due to its size and intended market.

HAMILTON & SON PLYMOUTH MICH. U.S.A.,” and patent dates “PATENTED OCT. 30, 1906 – AUG. 13, 1907.” This model represents an important piece of early 20th-century youth firearms history.
