Table of Contents

Ethan Allen is considered to be the father of the pepperbox revolver. This important book gives complete details on him, the years during which he worked, the pistol which he perfected and the other arms which he and his companies manufactured.

The pepperbox was probably the most important gun produced during the first half of the 19th century. It was used in the expansion of settlement to the west from 1837 onward, and was considered to be good protection from "bandits, renegades or Indians." It was the only multi-shot weapon available and there were distributors · spread from Boston to California. Its quality, price and effectiveness made it a most significant factor in the opening of the west.

The pepperbox was only one of the arms made by Ethan Allen and his companies located at Grafton, Mass., Norwich, Conn., and Worcester, Mass. from 1831 to 1871. They also manufactured s ingle shot pistols, rifles, percussion revolvers, lip fire revolvers and many other arms designed for protection or sport. Each is thoroughly detailed in this very fully researched book.

Ethan Allen stated that he started his business with $12.00, but the companies which he headed, Allen & Thurber, Allen Thurber & Co., Allen & Wheelock, and E. Allen & Co., were leading manufacturers in their era and in their area.

The author's training and vocation have forced him to treat this as an economic study but his avocation has compelled him to treat it as a collector's reference. With the addition of Dun & Bradstreet statistics and other financial details for the various companies, facts about the period in which each arm was developed, and some 300 photographic and line illustrations of the people, arms and patents, he has succeeded with both requirements to produce a book which will serve a most useful function when taken from the shelves of any librarian, historian or collector.

Cheaper & Higher Quality Than OEM Filters
Size: 9.3" x 9.7" x 1.8"
This Bosch Filter costs less than an OEM Filter and is significantly better because it's a HEPA filter unlike the cheap filters that most automotive manufacturers use. Can't go wrong with this!

You really need to change this filter !!!!
Size: 9.3" x 9.7" x 1.8"
This is a great cabin filter for her 2013 Honda CR-V... It was relatively easy to get the glove box down just enough to allow me to get my hands on the cabin filter cover, and pull it out... It was so dirty!!! The new one immediately made the air coming into the car, so much nicer to breathe.... Great filter...Perfect fit.... Thanks, Bosch !!!

Works fine 3 months in
Installed a few months ago, before the winter. I was chasing a no-start after replacing the old battery. We've seen single digit temps in the meantime and it is working well. The fit is perfect in a 2010 focus. If you can slide it in from the side and not drop it in from the top, you can replace it without taking off the intake manifold. There are useful videos online showing this. Good luck!

Will be returned as soon as I have a replacement.
When engine is cold starter works fine with engine is hot. It will free wheel the starter motor, but not kick the starter gear into the ring gear on the motor. Watch video and listen it actually did it twice at this location but I didn’t catch the first one on the video.
