Best authentic pad for CHE 12 ga

[Drew Hause]

Other pre-WWI pads included the D-W, Funkes, Huntley Shock Absorber (Omaha) and “Perkins” Recoil Pads (both advertised starting in 1915), Tryon #6, and the American Silver pad (sometimes called Grieb; possibly by the Ajax-Grieb Rubber Co.) - AFAIK no repros are available

The first Jostam Anti-flinch ad in Sporting Life was August 19, 1916

[John Knobelsdorf II]

Comments above have made me question whether a leather pad could ever be a Parker Brothers factory original.

The letter for this CH Bernard suggests that a leather pad was indeed available (in 1905 at least). I am referring to the next to last sentence in the final paragraph.

Uncommon perhaps, but something involving leather on the pad was available.

Unrelated comment. Restating something I’ve said before. The PGCA discussion board has perhaps the only section selling items on the web where an abundance of information is available for reference.
