Found a 1912 A.H. Fox hang tag stating that the gun was patterned with 3 Dram Smokeless with 1 1/8 oz. No. 8 shot.


A later A.H. Fox Gun Co. hang-tag for a Sterlingworth with 26-inch barrels of 1916 vintage gives a load of 3 1/8 drams of smokeless powder and 1 1/4 ounce of #7 1/2. That tag only has Cyl and Full written in, not the actual pellet count.

The earliest A.H. Fox Gun Co. hang tag I've seen is of late 1905 or early 1906 vintage when they were still at Wayne & Bristol Streets. It shows the 3 drams of smokeless powder and 1 1/8 ounce of #8 chilled load being used to target the gun.
