In the early 1800s, Kendallville was a small town in Indiana. It was located on the west bank of the White River and had a population of around 100 people. The town was founded by United States Colonel William Kendall and his wife Dorothy in 1818. The town quickly became popular for its hunting and fishing opportunities. In addition, it was known as a center for blacksmithing and gunsmithing. Because of its location, Kendallville also served as a transportation hub for goods arriving from surrounding counties. This made it an important stop for travelers heading south to Moline or north to Indianapolis. Additionally, it served as a market place where citizens could purchase goods such as flour, beans, chickens, eggs, etc. The popularity of the town led to proliferation of firearms over time. One result of this trend was that gun hammers began to become common tools among localsmiths. As hammers became more common, they began to be used not just for hammering out bolts but also for shaping metal objects such as cannons and furniture. This development is significant because it increased the number of potential targets available to shooters during wartime times.
Gun hammer is a tool used in woodworking. It is a metal or plastic handle with a flat head at one end and a roundhead (or other) at the other, used to drive nails into boards or other materials. The roundhead end can be held against the workpiece while the flathead end driven into it.
The first gun hammer in Kendallville, Indiana was created by the Handgunsmiths of Kendallville in 1876. The gun hammer was designed to help shooters hold their guns properly while reloading.
Kendallville is a small, rural town in Butler County, Indiana, United States. The population was 592 at the 2010 census. It has been reported that Kendallville is one of the poorest towns in Butler County. Kendallville was founded by settlers from Ohio in 1824. The first post office was established in 1827. In 1830, Kendallville became the county seat and remained so until 1907 when it moved to Logansport. The town of Kendallville is named after John Kendall who purchased land here in 1825 from David Smith and others. He had come overland from Kentucky with his family and began settlement of this part of Butler County. Mr. Kendall erected a sawmill on the current site of what is now known as North Main Street in 1825-26, which he operated for many years until it was destroyed by fire in 1870. In 1828,John Aiken opened a store here and later served as village trustee for about twenty years before being elected to the US Congress from this district (then part of Illinois). In 1840 Abraham Lincoln visited here on his way to campaign for president and stopped at Aiken's store on Main Street during his stay at Logansport; President Lincoln may have been impressed by Aiken's business acumen and generosity which earned him an honored mention in history books later that year when he said "It would be hard to beat Abraham Aiken’s store". In 1865 General George Armstrong Custer came through Logansport while campaigning for Governor John Toddman and spent three days at Aiken’s store before leaving for Cassia Indian Territory where he lost his life during battle against Sioux warriors near Fort Donelson five months later. After General Custer's death there were several local businesses closed due to lack of customers or competition from new stores opening up around them such as those run by Jethro Gibbs (1871-1946) who also ran a grocerystore/cafeteria combo building on North Main Street until it burned down in 1954; Emmett Henson (1886-1967) opened what became known as "Henson's Store" across the street from Henson's Garage between 1951-1955; Clarence Wagoner started selling gasoline ¼ mile north of downtown on Third Avenue just west of Sixth Street ca 1915 but closed shop due to coal shortages during World War I; reopened after prohibition ended 1945 ; Joe Bogan started serving hot dogs out front on West Washington Street ca 1912 but closed shop because there wasn't enough business available inside or outside their building.; reopened 1954.; Fred Fenton opened First National Bank & Trust Company early 20th century with original bank building located east side off Old Cahokia Road (now Fourth Avenue); continued operations into 1960s.; Frank Boykin started operating Anheuser Busch Brewery here beginning 1926 with original brewery buildings located east side off Old Cahokia Road (now Fourth Avenue));continued operations into 1970s.; Jacob Weiser started operating Keystone Kiosks beginning1966 with original kiosk buildings located north side off South Market Square Boulevard (now Second Avenue]); continued operations into 1990s.; current headquarters are currently located southside off South Market Square Boulevard across from Middle School(8th Grade) within limits set by law
Gun hammer history is a long and complicated story. It begins with the invention of the first metallic gun hammer in 1795, by Nicholas-Jacques Conte. Gun hammers were used to cock firearms and to drive home rounds from the muzzle of a musket or rifle. They quickly became standard equipment on common infantry guns, and remained so until the early 20th century. The most common type of gun hammer was the percussion cap hammer, which operated by striking a metal cap with ahammer head. The force of impact would cause gas bubbles to form in the steel, which would then burst open and release the round inside. This type of hammer was eventually replaced by an extractor rodhammer in 1887, because it required more effort to strike thecap than either a percussion cap or extractor rod could provide. An exception to this rule was made for artillery cannons, where an all-metal breechblockHammerheadwas fitted with an all-steel ramrod that could be used to cock and fire projectiles using both cap hammers and extractor rods. These hammers lasted into the 19th century, but were gradually replaced by new types as technology improved. Today, there are several types of gun hammers available on various firearms platforms: manual ( fingertip ) hammers; electric ( hand crank ) hammers; pin-fired ( pellet ) Hammerheads; recoiloperated Hammerheads; gas operated Hammerheads; Franchi Hammers; Freeman/Webster Hammers; Owen/Stevens Hammers; British Standard Holstershambles
The first gun hammer was created in ancient China by using a lever and anvil to pry the end of a rod out of a nut. This early type of hammer was used mainly for pounding nails into wood. The use of gun hammers spread throughout Europe in the Middle Ages, and they eventually became common tools in many different industries. Hammering tools were also developed to increase the efficiency with which firearms were operated, including muzzleloading pistols and shotguns.
Kendallville is a small town in northwestern Indiana, United States. The population was 3,853 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Terre Haute–Kaiserslautern, IN Micropolitan Statistical Area. Kendallville was founded by parents of immigrant German and Irish descent in 1824 as a small settlement on the banks of the White River. The first post office was established in 1827, and by 1840 it had become the largest town in Butler County. The village grew rapidly due to support from farmers who found local land valuable for farming purposes and when railroads arrived in Kendallville in 1857, they chose to locate their stations there rather than farther away on the main line. By 1870, Kendallville had become an important commercial center with over twenty businesses including four banks and two grocery stores. The growth of trade allowed for construction of schools and churches which helped to maintain social stability during difficult times. In 1893, Kendallville became one of twelve towns included within the newly formed Butler County municipality. In 1933, when Butler County was merged into Vanderburgh County, Kendallville remained an unincorporated community until its annexation into that county in 1959. Today it is a part of Vanderburgh Township. During World War II, many residents served in military units including infantry companies and artillery batteries stationed throughout Indiana as well as Illinois and Ohio contingents; however only one resident – Mr/ Mrs John Hargrave – ultimately received medals for his service (the other residents were given certificates). A number of local businesses also donated items or services to help soldiers during/after hostilities such as donation drives for army rations or contributions to war bonds drives; these efforts helped fund many vital citizens' needs such as health care and education while also establishing relationships with hometown businesses that continue today
