Thanks for the insight Bill, The stock book records overlap helps narrow the window during the transition between Parker/Remington... I've often wondered if there was a specific reason why some IBM cards contained very little information, while others seem to have much more detail. Perhaps it had to do with a particular time period, or maybe it was dealers like Kerr's Sporting Goods placing special orders for high profile customers that resulted in more details applied to the cards?... I'm also interested to see if Mark has a theory or knows why some IBM cards had more information than others?...

Best, CSL

I have IBM card copies as early as February of 1935. I assume there are IBM cards with 1934 dates, but don't know for sure.

I agree with Gary. I'm sure a few of my posts were taken wrong. Bruce is quite knowledgeable and enjoyable to visit with.
