Not sure about S&W, but one sold at auction last year for $235.

S&W made or marketed a bunch of police gear , usually with their name on it.

According to SCSW3 , Model #209 & 277 gas guns were made by Rock Creek Chemical Co. of Ohio , and marked S&W Chemical Co , Rock Creek , Ohio , and have the S&W logo.

Yes, this is just like the one I have. Ive been hearing tale of all sorts about it being made in a rural suburb in cleveland and by s&w ...no markings confirming that though

By this detail, mine must be pre-smith and wesson?

There is one for sale on gunbroker, but I cannot link it until the auction closes as it is currently active. But its the only one if you search "37mm lake erie chemical company"

Or was sold by another police distributor , or by the company's own sales.
