I have only seen the ball style stingers. But I also have noticed there are a few different patent numbers. Does anyone have any information what stinger this should have had? 1513428

Something is telling me this stinger is original. Maybe I just want to believe it is. lol. It’s hard for me to imagine a stinger with the same thread pitch, depth, and size for something so minute. @jguss do you have any history on this?Thank you.
You da man. Wishfull thinking on my part that it was some unique stinger. Thank you everyone @ssjones for the input. Case closed. No unique stingers other than the ball type.Tied up today so in brief here’s the patent:
