Who am I?

I have no serial number. I am a 22 caliber rifle made by C.J. Hamilton & Sons. I have two dates, October 30, 1900 for the Patent and October 13, 1907 as a possible date of manufacture. I have a rolled split barrel. I am a single shot break action. The barrel is very short, the whole gun is between 25" to 28" originally. The reason I say originally is because when the gun was found (in the wall of a derelict house), the stock was broken. A replacement stock was made and attached, but likely not the same length as the original.

Help?
