You are correct Dave. It was the Y.C. (Young & Cadwallader) pad.

I did find the D-W in the October 1925 Outdoor Life



I haven't been able to find who D & W were

[Bill Murphy]

The patent should tell us their names.

E.E. Dewhurst of Elyria, Ohio (about an hour from Goodyear in Akron) patented a rubber recoil pad #1,414,116 April 25, 1922

Good work, Drew. My SB grade single barrel had a D-W pad on it when I bought it. It was beyond repair, but I still have it. I replaced it with a Griffin and Howe Silver pad.
