Clarence Hamilton made an improved airgun over the existing and very successful model made by Markham Air Rifle Co. He partnered with druggist Cyrus A. Pinckney and with a loan on Pinckneys drug store, started the Plymouth Air Rifle Company, in Plymouth Michigan. Their first model was based on the version patented by Hamilton in 1888.

What great technology! Plus technology keeps getting more economical now, and that’s what people really notice. Wind energy, solar power, hybrids and zap EV’s, our choices are good. There are now electric cars being sold everyday, you just plug it into a regular power outlet. When people test drive them they say it’s far more fun to drive an EV.
