Cartouche 23 came in a couple of options, based on a 1924 ad in our ref thread showing cost ranges $85-100. Not sure all variants would’ve been captured in the Master Book—only a representative model (the advertising model?)
Definitely 23 came with options. Yeah I was looking at the ads to help me my decision. It just seemed many 23 had some sort of ...foliage pattern on most of them.

Just now am I understanding how varied these cases can be from carver to carver....
I was always thinking they had a template to stick to but may be they had more allowance than I assumed.
23 is the closest match. 23 it is...
Thanks for all feedback and Afire, I'd love to see some examples!
