Here goes:

George Eyster
George Schroyer
Adam Ernst
J.P. Beck
John Noll
John Heagy
Frederick Zorger
Nicholas Beyer
Leonard Reedy
John Armstrong

And a # 11, Frederick Sell is as good as any of the above. Yeah, I know.  They all worked in the "Golden Age", and from within an hour of my home.  I'm biased.....

I would include the Bulls, John at least on the list along with the Bean's.  I am also partial to the Southern Iron Mounted guns.  While I appreciate the skill of the fancy stuff, I like the clean lines and the simplicity.
