WHEALDON PHOTO — The Daisy Airgun Museum in Rogers recently received this photograph, taken in approximately 1890 by Joshua Whealdon, Texarkana's first professional photogra- pher. The subject was his son, Guy Hiller Whealdon. "This photo is a welcomed addition to our display of the earliest Daisy guns," says Joe Murfin, chairman of the museum. "The break-action airgun shown in the photo is a Second Model, made from 1890 to 1891, by the Plymouth Iron Windmill Company of Plymouth, Mich. This would have been five years before the windmill and airgun manufacturer discontinued its manufacture of windmills and changed its name to Daisy Manufacturing Company." daisymu- seum.com.
