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.

In the 1878 parker catalog the Horsley capper is listed as #19 for paper shells. It cost $2.50.

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.
