	Since I don't know of a model 1498, I emailed Joe Murfin. His reply: "Mark : I'm stumped. I just don't know. Joe." I'd say it was a carton or call number for a model 98, but that falls apart because the early 98 that used the rear peep/vee flip sight has a sight mounting pad with a ducktail that would have been in the way (the example below is missing the flip sight). The later 98s used a forward-mounted open sight

	Yeah, that’s an odd one alright. The only models I’m aware of that used that style sight are the 99, 299, and early 499. So I only see 3 possibilities: A misprint. A model Daisy designed but never put into production. Something Daisy built for someone else (Sears, Western Auto, etc.) Probably never know….
