Stembridge Gun Rentals was a prop weapons provider to the US movie and television industry from approximately 1920 through 2007. During its tenure, nearly every American movie or television set was supplied by Stembridge for their firearms and blanks.
Stembridge Gun Rentals became a lucrative business. Its first offices were located at 5451 Marathon Street, itself a Paramount backlot. The business was generally known in the film industry as the "Gun Room", as numerous clients throughout the industry rented from Stembridge.[
The company was managed by Fritz Dickie from 1927 through 1974, In 1933 Stembridge's nephew, Ed Stembridge, also joined the firm.
By 1940 the business had an arsenal of 7,000 rifles, 1,200 revolvers, and 200 machine guns, including Thompson M1921s and M1928s, and was considered one of the largest private arsenals in the country.
On December 7, 1941, Fritz Dickie was contacted by the US Coast Guard to requisition Stembridge's arsenal for use in the event of an invasion by the Japanese, who had just bombed Pearl Harbor. The company also loaned weapons to the California State Guard and California National Guard, and after the weapons were returned they received a letter of thanks from the Harbor Defenses command and signed by Colonel W. W. Hicks of the Coast Artillery Corps. During the early years of World War II, before the company got its arsenal back, it was forced to improvise weapons to outfit war movie sets.
