Gary B. Muckel, founder of the Nebraska Cartridge Collectors wrote a 200+ page book titled Early Shotgun Concentrators and Spreaders, available for $55 plus $3 shipping from the author. Gary states the Eley is one of the most common having been made in such a wide variety and over such a long period of time. Based on Joshua Jenour's patent of 1827, sold to the Eleys, who were advertising by 1828.
