Doesn't take much to make me happy. I went into a gun store in northern NH and bought two lbs of powder that I've been looking for: 4064 and 4227.
But the frosting was a little Hamilton 27 .22 single shot rifle. Patent date: 1901 - 1907. These rifles were inexpensive, made with sheet metal and a brass barrel wrapped in sheet metal. They were, basically, the prize in the Cracker Jack box.
As a shooter today - worthless. But their history is interesting.
It's worth more as a parts gun than what I paid. All the parts are there, and a few more. The bore is just about perfect, which is unusual.
This link gives a good description.
