Buzz Barton no model number

There were two Buzz Barton 195 models.   The stock is the easiest way to tell which one you may have.   In 1932 there was a 195 model 32 that had a paper decal on the left side of the stock. In 1936 there was a 195 model 36 that had a branded Buzz Barton logo on the left side of the stock.
There are, of course, several differences between the two models but the stock is the giveaway for which model you may have. Sorry without a picture or more details. It’s hard to tell which one you may have.

According to Gary Garber's book, it's known as a 195 model 33 Buzz Barton Special because it came out in 1933. Made until 1935. The sight tube should have "No. 195 Daisy" and 2 patent numbers along with Daisy Mfg. Co. and the Plymouth address. Basically the same gun as the paper label model but with the different buttstock.

Thanks for the crash course Jack I found that really interesting

OK Mark, I see what you’re saying cause I looked at Gary‘s book and read that passage which I’ve never read before. To me it looks like the original 195/32 with a branded stock. So I’m gonna go back and look at my parts list and hangtags, and see if I can see if I have information to identify what Daisy called that “195-33” if they ever published a parts list for that particular variation. I know Gary said it was referred to as the “195-33” ,but what did Daisy actually call it . To me that’s the question I would like to have answered. In my mind, I think they did call it a 195 -32 but I’m not convinced of that. It could be Ralph actually has the “195-33” since he indicated it had a branded stock, and a straight barrel. Not a step down barrel like the 195-36. Nice detective work on your part.
