The spelling of Gray (Grey) this advertisement being an error. Yet another gunsmith from the Lewis Alley school of gunmaking. The JACK that Gray "invented" was an early form of rotisserie. Please refer to the attached link to see an example of this device. Many inventors have claimed this invention, even the great Leonado di Vinci.


Our thanks for the use of this link.

 Please refer to our "older post" with respect to this gunmaker dated 12/1/2016.
