The Meriden Firearms Company of Meriden, Connecticut, USA manufactured small arms from 1905 to 1918. The Meriden Firearms Company was formed when Sears, Roebuck & Co. purchased the Andrew Fyrberg & Sons firearms manufacturing plant and moved the plant and machinery to Meriden, Connecticut, in 1905 in the Malleable Iron Company's plant. The company sold their firearms through the Sears catalog as well as via other retailers (using different trade names). The main plant of the company was sold to New England Westinghouse in 1916 (which soon resold it to Colt), and in 1918 due to the end of WWI Sears closed the Meriden Firearms Company. wikipedia
