Yup, it matches Brunswick 5230 in Ross Laird's books. I had the disc at CAPS 
this afternoon (didn't get a chance to show it to you) so I could get a scan 
done of the labels.  They AREN'T pasted on, so Brunswick might have kept some 
popular items in print after they'd started issuing laterals and still had a 
market for verticals.
