Coloken,
I don't know if Ward's sold them or not. I have done some research on them....a big ordeal actually, as information is scarce. The design was patented by Charles Lovelace of Texas, around 1912. He made a few and sold them under the name of the Texas Firearms Co. Later, a couple of the old-time fur companies picked them up, Taylor being one of them. I don't know if Taylor bought the patent rights or just paid a royalty. There were shotshell versions and some made in .38 and .44 calibers, but the .22 version outsold them all for obvious reasons. Hopkins&Allen made the shotshell versions and Mossberg made the .22 version. Now, Mossberg didn't go into business until 1921..so we know the .22 version was made after that. My research shows that the Fur Getter disappeared from the Taylor catalog circa 1941..the war probably responsible. It never reappeared afterwards....game laws probably caught up with it by then. They sold for $3.35!
