|
| I. The following three codes are the
only ones that have no engraved ring around the horseshoe. |
|
IA. SSM-HST -- sorry, no
dupes for sale.
¶ this is the only code in this no-engraved-ring group that has
four nail holes on the right side (the others have three nail holes).
It is also the only one in the group that has oddly (non-rectangular)
shaped
tips (circled in the picture here). (This was code HST in supplement
#3 to the old book. It is SSM
in
the new book.) |
 |
IB. SSH-HSU -- sorry,
none for sale.
¶ this code is distinguished by the irregular, non-smooth outline
of the top of the horseshoe. (This was code HSU in supplement
#4 to the old book. It is SSH
in the new book.) |
 |
IC. SSH -- sorry, none
for sale.
¶ Thius chip does not have the irregular tip of SSM-HST, nor
the irregular top of SSH-HSU. (The code did not appear in the old
book; it is SSH Variation in the new
book. I didn't have an example of this chip till recently when Fred Krick
gave me one as a gift.) |
 |
| II. All of the remaining codes
have a ring around the horseshoe: |
|
IIA. SJW-HSS -- sorry,
none for sale.
¶ this is a rare,
small
1-1/4" chip. The other 14 Horseshoe chips are all 1-1/2." (HSS
is the code in the old book. SJW is
the code in the new book.) |
 |
IIB. SUW-HSV -- red (made
with no paint), white -- $3 each.
¶ only this
one of these Horseshoe chips has printing on it. (HSV was
the code in the old book. SUW
is the code in the new book.) |
 |
| IIC. The following
three codes (and SUW-HSV and SSM-HST, above) have four nail holes
in the right half of the horseshoe: |
|
IIC1. STA-HSW
-- sorry, none for sale.
¶ a distinguishing feature of this code in this group (IIC) are the
jogs at the tips of the horseshoe (not the usual small rectangle).
(This chip was code HSW of supplement #4 to the old book; it is code STA
in the new book.) |
 |
IIC2. SSQ
-- sorry, none for sale.
¶ the tips are chevron-shaped, not the usual rectangle.
(this was not in the old book or its supplements; SSQ
is the code in the new book.) |
 |
IIC3. SUK
-- sorry, none for sale.
¶ here the tips are the usual neat rectangles. Also,
the left half of the rectangle has three nail holes, whereas the
above two codes have four holes. (Not in the old book; code SUK
in the new book.) |
 |
| IID. All of
the remaining codes have three nail slots in the right half of the horseshoe: |
|
| IID1.The
following two codes have jogs on the tips (ends) of the horseshoe: |
|
IID1a. SUR-HSM -- sorry, none for sale.
¶ the nail slots are rectangular. (This was code HSM
of the old book, and SUR Variation in
the new book.) |
 |
IID1b. SUR-HSL -- white, brown -- $3 each.
¶ there are lines for nail slots, not rectangles.
(In the old book this was HSL in supplement #1; in the new book it is
SUR.) |
 |
| IID2. The
remainingcodes do not have jogs at the ends of the shoe: |
|
|
IID2a. The following two codes have rectangular
or oval nail slots: |
|
IID2a(1). SUB-HSG -- white -- $3 each.
¶ compared to the code below, this one has fuzzy slots and harsher,
thicker engravings throughout. ((This code was HSG in the old
book and is omitted in the new book.) |
 |
IID2a(2). SUB-HSJ -- white -- $4 each.
¶ compared to the code above, this one has finer, crisper engravings
throughout. (This was code HSJ of the old book and SUB
Variation in the new book.) |
 |
|
IID2b. The remaining codes have LINES for
nail slots, not rerctangles or ovals: |
|
IID2b(1). SUB-HSA -- blue, white -- $3 each
¶ thick, broad, deep engravings vis a' vis the two codes below.
(This code was HSA in the old book and SUB
in the new.) |
 |
IID2B(2). SUB-HSD -- red, white and blue -- $3 each.
¶ fine engravings vis a' vis SUB-HSA above; and larger
horseshoe than SSV below. (This code was HSD in the old book, and
is not in the new book.) |
 |
IID2B(3). SSV -- sorry, none for sale.
¶ this chip is new to me. The horseshoe is much smaller
than the above two codes. (Not in the old book, and
coded SSV in the new one. |
