Decades ago I cataloged every Baker I saw, but sort of got lazy the last couple of decades after a few thousand written down. Here's what I see on Folsom guns.
The lowest serial number Folsom Leader I have seen is 176 F and the highest is 17,956 F with a Norwich address.
For the Folsom Black Beauty Special, many are in the 201,000 F range and 201,957 F is the highest recorded. But, many Black Beauty Specials are in the 3000 F to 6000 F range seemingly shared with the Folsom Leader numbers. I agree with Dave that the 200,000 F range Folsom guns have nothing to do with the R and S 200,000 and above serial range.
As to the Paragon and De Luxe grade Folsom guns, all seem to be in the same block as the 201,000 F and up Black Beauty Specials. But, never say never as one Folsom Paragon has appeared in the 2200 F serial no. range.
