Good call.  I had a TOC .25 that looked just like it but had an owl in place of the logo. Its definitely S&W.  Hammerless with automatic shell ejector, nickel finish, hard rubber grips, sold for 13 bucks in 1909 from Sears Roebuck.

The .32 is the rarer of the two.  Most of them are so loose and shakey they can't or shouldn't be fired.  This example looks shootable however.  Is it tight when you close the action? Monty
Don't make me loose the hounds! If you dig, Cover up your holes.
