This was Bacon's 2nd company. It was created 1858/1859 when he left the Manhattan Firearms Company. In 1863 Bacon sold his company to Charles A. Converse. Article in the Norwich Weekly Courir, October ss, 1863: "Sold out - Thomas K. Bacon, Esq., has, we are informed, disposed of his interest in the Bacon Fire Arms Co. to Charles A. Converse, who has been appointed general business superintendent. It is mainly through Mr. Bacon's energy and ability that the company have been so successful as they have, and we doubt not that the business will still improve under the management of a man of so well known business ability as Mr. Converse." Bacon Mfg. Co. continued without its namesake until its sale to Converse and four employees in 1868. The new firm was to be called The Hopkins and Allen Manufacturing Company. see Bacon Manufacturing Company
