S.W. Silver's Indiarubber Works was established in 1864. "The Anti-Recoil Heel Plate-The Silver's Safety Pad" was introduced in the 1870s. Silvers pads were offered in the 1890 Henry C. Squires catalog. The first Parker fitted with a "Silvers Recoil Butt" was DH #56553 in 1891; the red rubber pad was not listed as an option in Hunter Arms catalogs until 1905.

Other pre-WWI pads included the D&W, Funkes, Huntley Shock Absorber (Omaha) and "Perkins" Recoil Pads (both advertised starting in 1915), Tryon #6, and the American Silver pad (sometimes called Grieb and after about 1915 Goodrich; possibly Ajax-Grieb Rubber Co.)
https://books.google.com/books?id=O1M-AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA658&lpg

W.R. Jorgenson Patent No. 1,156,293 for the Jostam Anti-Flinch pad was granted Oct 12, 1915, and the company catalogues of the era say “Organized 1914.” JOSTAM was W.R. JOrgenson, W.D. STannard and A.H. AMmann.
Older Anti-Flinch pads have an Oct. 29, 1914 patent date for J.S. Day's Patent No. 1,123,180. Jostam acquired the Huntley Sponge Rubber Pad after WW I.

The Hawkins Model 25 Recoil Pad by the Cushion Pad Co. was first offered in the early 1920s. Hawkins’ Patent 1,538,990 is dated May 1925.
The NOSHOC pads have a June 6, 1922 patent date, but were not found in catalogs until the early 1930s.

In 1941, the most commonly seen Jostam pad, the Anti-Flinch, was listed at $3.25; the Jostam solid Air Cushion at $3.00; the Hy-Gun at $2.75; and the No-Kick at $1.75. Other pads offered in 1941 were the Hawkins 25 with the heart-shaped vents for $3.25; the White Line by Fray-Mershon Inc. in regular or Skeet style for $2.50; the Noshoc for $1.50; and the Ithaca "Bridge Trestle" pad for $2.25.

What about Fraymersion Inc (sp?) recoil pads? I bought a early Fox A-grade that had one on it. The gun was circa 1910, the pad looked like it came on the gun, original or not, the vintage and age looked correct. Ever heard of this brand??

How about these from Jostam, we discussed them here a few years back. At that time they were a mystery to everyone.

The 'White Line' Recoil Pad was patented by Frank Pachmayr 1-28-35 #2091010, but made by Fray-Mershon of Los Angeles. It was offered by Hunter Arms in the 40s. Pachmayr manufactured the pad after WWII.

The pad on the Parker Bros. SBT is the D - W pad by D - W Manufacturing Co., 360-L Sixth St., Elyria, Ohio. Huntley was taken over and added to the Jostam line after The Great War. Fray - Mershon also had their "Blue Line" recoil pads. There was a pad called "Black Diamond" I found an ad for in the April 1930 Field & Stream, and a while back someone posted pictures of a Philip S. Olt pad which looked much like the 'Black Diamond.' Then there are numerous "trade branded" versions of the Red Head Pad. I'll email you a few pictures Drew.

Many thanks to Researcher who provided these images

"No Jolt" is a tradename variant of the Red Head; for whom is unknown.

[Linked Image from photos.smugmug.com]

Many tradename pads were made by Red Head including 'Trustworthy', 'TruSport' (for E.K. Tryon), and 'Whippet' (for Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co.)
Red Head pads first appeared in the 1936 Burkhard catalog and the pad was used on the Marlin Model 90 introduced in 1939.

No luck identifying this pad shown in the 1915 Baker catalog courtesy of Researcher

[Linked Image from photos.smugmug.com]

BTW: Researcher previously explained that JOSTAM was W.R. JOrgenson, W.D. STannard and A.H. AMmann.
Information on W.D. Stannard is here
https://www.trapshooters.com/threads/f-p-w-d-stannard-and-montgomery-ward.424145/

From a historical book about Peotone, IL 1856-1956 provided by RocDoc
The Jostam Manufacturing Company was founded in 1914 by Standard, A. H. Ammann, and W. R. Jorgenson, for the purpose of manufacturing gun recoil pads for shotguns and rifles. These pads were shipped all over the world. James Kruger, who started with the firm when founded, made the first pads in his garage at his home.
They later moved to the Ammann Building, now owned by the Sportsmen Club, where they remained for approximately 41 years. They operated all that time with the exception of two years during World War II when material was impossible to be had. The business was sold April 14, 1955 and moved to Dallas, Texas, where it is being operated by Buddy Schoellkopf Products, Inc.

This is interesting. Paul J. Krueger pad
https://patents.google.com/patent/US1209726
The chamber is provided to accommodate the rubber or other pneumatic tube, which has a filling valve, and may be placed in the chamber through the opening formed by the flange of the inner casing. This pneumatic tube, in connection with the leather, forms the cushion or pad to absorb the shocks of recoil.
