In 1865 Charles Daly formed the famous sporting goods business named Schoverling & Daly in New York City and later became Schoverling, Daly & Gales in 1873. For many years they sold only the finest quality sporting arms. Then in 1910 Henry Modell bought the firm and sold it to the Walzer Family in the 1920's, they owned Sloan's Sporting Goods in Ridgefield, Conn. but kept Charles Daly & Co. in New York. In 1976, Sloan's sold the Charles Daly trademark to Outdoor Sports Headquarters Inc. in Dayton, Ohio. This turn of the century piece most likely was a Schoverling, Daly & Gales import, and it has lived a very sheltered life on these shores and remains a very nice example of early 1900's quality. Linder made quality guns to about 1916 and it is believed no more of his guns were made after WWI. This Lindner Daly was about $200 retail at the time it was imported.
