In the 1882 catalog the horsley capper is shown as No. 1181 on the page titled recappers.
The Kelsey capper No, 16 is on the page titled Cappers.
You are correct that the Kelsey only installs the caps.

The No. 1183 is shown in the 1882 BGI catalog, but is not in the 1901 catalog. BGI catalogs are few and far between. I have the 4 Cornell reprints and an original 1904.

The old BGI factory building is about a mile from my house.

The capper is for use with brass shells.

Any idea as to when they stopped production of the Horsley Recapper? Also, when did they go out of business?
