Description Advertisement showing the exterior of the storefront containing a display window and a large model rifle above the entrance. An American flag projects from the muzzle of the model that is attached to the building by ropes. Patrons holding rifles and attired in hunting gear depart from the store as other patrons sit and stand near the open cellar doors of the establishment. A dog flanks the hunters and a boy walks ahead with two other dogs on leashes. Rifles, hunting bags, and guns adorn the display window. Street activity includes an African American laborer pushing a handcart of rifles and a boy carrying a wrapped rifle over his shoulder. Also shows neighboring buildings. Wurfflein's son, Andrew assumed the business circa 1871 and operated it until 1915.
