School: Lebanon/Dauphin (Pennsylvania/PA)
Christian Siple was apprenticed to Jacob Haeffer in Lancaster Boro as early as 1797. He moved to Middletown, PA where he was taxed as a gunsmith from 1808 to 1825. He worked in town as well as in contiguous Swatara Township, Dauphin County. He died circa 1827. Some of his products show a strong Lancaster stock profile, while others have a curvilinear shape to the stock comb.
