The Barreit has the number scratched/etched on the barrel cover but not stamped.  Barreit pix above  and Garwood pix below courtesy of David Abbe.  George Jones from the Jones and Horan auction team  reports that # 454237 has no numbers under the barrel bridge! This is now the 5th such report! None are reported yet with serial numbers. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1f5803d0.gif" border=0 width="640" height="317" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The Garwood has the number stamped as one would expect!  The uneven spacing is typical. Numerals were individualy stamped and alignment was uneven.  Guess it didn't matter as it wasn't meant to be viewed!  I haven't seen any Ball's with the stamped bridge yet and other private labels are not consistent!  Maybe it depended upon quantity or price. I believe that  If a run was dedicated to a private label, it got the serial number, if existing stock was used then the barrel was replaced. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="2a5902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Above ad ran in the Brotherhood journals from 7/90 well into 1891.
