Krider, John, d. 1887.
John Krider was one of Philadelphia's most prominent gunsmiths during the 19th century.
Krider opened his shop in 1837 and for most of his career was located at the corner of 2nd and Walnut Streets. During the Civil War he served as sutler to the 4th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps. After the War, Krider concentrated his work on breech-loading shotguns for sportsmen. He also sold other sporting goods, such as fishing tackle and sporting trophies, and engaged in taxidermy. After Krider's death in 1887 the business was carried on by John T. Siner, and around 1903 Leander C. Siner and Charles Mohr assumed control as L. C. Siner & Co. and continued the business into the 1930s.
