<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KingofThings, post: 320249, member: 468&quot;]I did not know there was a Colt ‘Baby Paterson’. This weapon is surely named for Paterson New Jersey where I assume it was made for that is where the huge Colt factory was. I also assume there is a Colt simply named the Paterson?</p><p>Side note: Paterson was the site of the beginnings of the ‘industrial revolution’ in the US and essentially begun by Alexander Hamilton’s interest in that probability. </p><p>The beautiful Great Falls were utilized to produce electricity and they still do though the visible areas have quite a bit of ice on them now.</p><p>I’ve been there a few times and love to see them. </p><p>Paterson is also where Lou Costello, of the comedy team of Abbott and Costello, was born.</p><p>There is a statue of him in a park downtown. There was a Abott and Costello museum on the campus of Montclair State University just down the road from NY Yankee catcher Yogi Berra’s museum also on the campus. The A&amp;C museum has closed and I believe the collection will now be housed at the Paterson museum which, I think, it always should have been.</p><p>The museum is worth seeing as it also houses one of the early submarines’ designed by Holland.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
