Good Morning Missaman, and Merry Christmas,
I will speak to Dr. Leonard Garigliano about your request, he is about as knowledgeable as Fladermann was. It might take me about a week to bend his ear , what with the hollidays.
Merry Christmas Mr. DeShivs (Bill)

Regards,
Sam

Missaman,
Just got a X-mas phone call from Dr. Garigliano, I asked him your question. He said a book by Harold Paterson is about all thats out there, but one of the best and most cited by collectors. It is available through Ray Riling press out of Philly. Cost is $30-$35.
All the best,
Sam
