Ad for the 1909 Maxim silencer. They cost $5. $5 was 1/4 of an ounce of gold at the time.

Make sure to get the “gun” silencer, not the “car” silencer. Heh.

Huyshoppe Ave Hartford Ct. is the Original Colt Mfg. Building address, I spent a lot of time working in those old buildings. Lot of history there but I did not know that Maxim was located there too.
