  "T. Barker" was a trade name used by H&D Folsum Arms Company on some of the many shotguns that they sold. H&D Folsum of New York City was a large distrubutor/importer of sporting goods. Many of the "domestic" shotguns were made for them by Crescent Firearms Company of Norwich, Connecticut.They were inexpensive, but well made shotguns, which is why many of them survive and may even be in service today. There is no collectors' interest in them except as "Granddaddy's shotgun" or "Great Granddaddy's shotgun".Regards
