Don't know, singin ::shrug::
The prefixes for the model No.'s were:

st - stag
kp - simulated mother of pearl
ac - assorted colors
os - outdoor scene

Guess we get to name them ourselves ::ds::

That one is now OFFICIALLY named "Flamin' Cell". :lol:

Just picked up this one of kind solid celluloid etched 1930s, before the shells started, Cattleman pattern. Never used. This is probably one of one left in this original condition! You don't see these every day boys!
