Kathleen McWilliams, Hartford Courant; Online auction to sell Hemingway and Kerouac typewriters, Samuel Colt gun patents

"Three 1830s patent documents for Hartford native Samuel Colt’s revolving cylinder guns are another notable item that will be auctioned off. The patents are valued between $40,000 and $50,000.

Bids will start at $13,000 for the patents for Colt’s Paterson Revolver No. 5 The guns achieved legendary status in the American West because they did not require their users to reload them after one shot."
