I recently added a Crescent New Empire to my "hardware store" double collection. Having long arms I add vintage recoil pads to all my shooters. I have found new-old-stock Noshok, Jostam Hy-gun and most recently a couple Red Head pads, all on eBay. The Crescent now wears a Red Head pad. The label on the box is marked "Martin's Hardware - $1.75". The seller had 2 pads + 1 box, got all for 7 bucks!

I was curious about the year these were introduced, most appropriate for a 30's gun.
