I have also found it listed with image as 1183 B.G.I. Horsley's capper in the 1886 john P. Moore's of NYC catalog reissued by Cornell Pub. Have not seen any images of the original boxes. The Kelsey box is shown in the parker story. Regards.

Henry, does the 1886 Moore catalog have more than a few BGI items listed?

Mark,
It has the BGI Horsley #1183, the BGI cocobolo rammer #1150, The BGI Barclay pattern brass wad guide #1147, the BGI powder measure with ring handle #22, the BGI hook shell extractor #1175, the BGI extractor with screw for recapping, the BGI crimper or closer #1101 and 1103, a BGI brush, a bunch of Acme stuff, a couple parker items, some Barclay and some Dixon. Moore's was one of the largest wholesale sporting goods distributors in the US. They list parker hammer guns but the image is not very good. It has many other long guns and pistols of that time frame for sale. All in all... a good item to add to one's library or ref. collection. Regards.
