I went to Wiki and looked...the answer isn't there.
Not surprising, considering the source.

My right coast (MA) relatives are left wingers, meanwhile us left coast relatives are right wingers.

At the last family GTG, I had a rude awakening when I saw my aunt wearing a Teddy Kennedy T-shirt.
Her son had a rude awakening when I asked him if he knew where the local (Cape Cod) gunshops were.

He was a real person, well known among collectors of a certain manufacturers product...not car/truck related.
i am going to go with some sort of firearm, like an old (civil war old) military type.

You're on the right track, this Pugsley was an avid collector of firearms.

The company he worked for had two names. The original was changed to the current one in 1866.

He sold his entire collection of firearms (over 5,000) to the company in 1951.

Chas Addams was a very good friend of Edwin Pugsley, who was the driving force (inventor, chief engineer & metallurgist) of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. for 40 years. Everything Winchester introduced from the 1930's thru the 1960's had Pugsleys stamp on it. The Model 21 shotgun is the finest example.
