  It would also appear that the E.C. Meacham Arms Co. also made bicycles...

  E. C. Meacham was a large Sporting Goods distributor in St Louis, Mo. Their 1884 catalog states "Established 1871" and lists shotguns of all grades, from elaborate Colt's to utility grade Belgian imports.
  If it's marked with their name, I'd suspect it's one of the latter; look for ELG in an oval Belgian proof mark under side of the barrel(s).

  E.C. Meacham Arms Company of St. Louis, Mo., was an Importer and never made Firearms...They sold thru Hardware Stores and Mail Order......They did sell some Quality Firearms...but the money maker was selling inexpensive European Firearms to the American Midwest Market..
