Jay,
I just saw this. Congrats, you are on a roll. Soon there won't be anymore type one's available. Soon you might have to build a wall around the peninsula.

Yes, Taylor had that number later. But writer Lucian Cary got that Single-Six originally.
Lucian's name is on quite a few of the smaller size gun pulps that could be purchased around that time.
I remember that Matt Olivier found the 21 back in the day, don't remember the circumstances, but Cary probably passed away sometime in the 1950's.
