Lever-action repeating rifle manufactured in two sizes. Has a magazine tube mounted under barrel; blued finish, with case colored lever; stock is walnut. Barrel marked "Whitney Arms Co New Haven, Conn. U.S.A.". Occasionally the word "Kennedy" is marked after the Whitney name. There are two major variations. One features a standard-type action lever; the other, same "S" shaped lever that is found on Burgess model. This version would be worth approximately 10 percent additional. As with many rifles of this era, there were many options available that will affect values. We strongly recommend securing a qualified appraisal for all, but the standard models, if a transaction is contemplated. Approximately 15,000 manufactured between 1879 and 1886. Variations of Whitney-Kennedy and their values are listed.
