Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company. They have several Walt listed. While not period correct I like the look of the sunburst pad. Keeping to period correct pads look at the Harkins heart, silvers, no shock or Jotsom. So many options so few guns to fit. Might need to buy a couple extra pads for future use.

The repro Hawkins pad is huge, 15 hearts, and can't be ground down too much or you get into the hearts. The 13 heart size would have been more useful for most shotgun applications.
What year did Hawkins become available. His earliest Patent was 1919, but the one that appears to most apply to the pad we know was applied for in 1924 and granted in 1925.

The high grade Flues double shown on the order form in the Flues era Ithaca Gun Co. catalogs from 1919 thru 1925 has a Jostam Anti-Flinch pad. The gun on the order form in the 1915 Ithaca Gun Co. catalog has a butt plate. Looking through a bunch of my old catalogs I find the Hawkins pad shown in the 1926 E.K. Tryon catalog. No Hawkins pad in the 1922 Schoverling, Daly & Gales catalog. I have several undated H & D Folsom catalogs and the ones that have the Flues Model Ithaca doubles have no Hawkins pad but when the NID appears the Hawkins pad is on the recoil pad page.

This is a very late (1925) Flues 20 I had and (regretfully) sold some years back. Not sure if it was original.
