Whippet pad #302502 12/01/12 01:12 AM

B. & Co. on it which I believe to be the old Chicago Hdw. retailer Hibbard, Spencer and Bartlett, that also had guns made with their name on them. I was wondering who would have made the pad for them. Last edited by 2holer; 12/01/12 01:17 AM.

Looks to be the same pad in picture trail as the Red Head, also located in Chicago. http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/22972603 OK, found this also. The pad I pictured has the same serial number. So, I guess Whippet was HBS&co own named pad. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=76577&page=1 Last edited by 2holer; 12/01/12 02:10 AM.

Similarly, the Tru- Sport is another "trade brand" version made for E.K. Tryon in Philadelphia -- And, that Patent No. 105358 is not a Patent Number. It is a Design Number.

Thanks- I have an identical pad with that same number- didn't know it was a design no., just ass-u-meed it was a patent number. Now, how about dem ol' LC Smith Whippet SBT's- also with a Whippet pad perhaps?? "The field is the touchstone of the man"..
