That pad was manufactured by the DEVO Company and was their high quality "Whippet Good" recoil pad.

The ones I've seen were A.K. Anderson Red Head pads



A number of Red Head pads were tradenamed; including Ranger, Western Field, "NoJolt" (for Marshall-Wells) and "TruSport" (for E.K. Tryon).

Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co., Chicago. Same Ptd. number.

I once owned a 16 ga. EE Grade Lefever that was equipped with a Whippet pad - the only one I've ever seen. (Sorry, no pictures!).

Now that’s funny. Made me laugh out loud.
