1942 Longbranch question

[Seaspriter]

Savage No.4 stocked from the factory in walnut

Thanks Brian, so the mystery continues. While I am only speculating here (no concrete evidence), we know a lot of Savage-Stevens walnut stocks went to the UK for use in repair. Here is a walnut repair stock on a Savage-Stevens I own (with the same initials on it as yours Brian!)

It's certainly possible (but still speculation) that some walnut blanks or formed stocks went to Long Branch. We know the New York Central Railroad went from Boston, passed Chicopee/Springfield, on to Buffalo then connected to Toronto. But speculation and evidence are two different things, so ...... is there any evidence from the day?
