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.
