Thoughts on cherry numbers for Kephart design bullets

[ohland]

If you know of a boolit that was either designed by Horace Kephart or is identified in a catalog as a "Kephart Design", please chime up with the boolit number and what catalog or handbook it shows up in.

As I was listing some Kephard design boolits, I saw a pattern, of sorts. It seemed that Kephart designs are in the low 200s (at least in the 1926 (?) catalog).

I bet there are more "Dirt scrapers / catchers" out there, just a matter of reviewing everything...

Added the data from jrmartin1964 (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/member.php?32631-jrmartin1964) and the 257231, 311241

My collection of Ideal Handbooks is somewhat spotty for the years between 1898 and 1916 (I am missing No.11 thru 13, No.16, and No.18 thru 21), but I have listed the Horace Kephart designs I am aware of and the earliest Handbook in my possession in which each appears. Also, I have included the cartridge for which the Handbooks state the design was originally intended. Also note that many of the designs were available in two weights.
