Great overview of different Lew Horton Distributor Specials. Thank you for the pictures!

I'm just curious... Do you know, why they produced the strange amount of each?
SKU 170282 --> 257
SKU 170281 --> 109

Preorders?

Speculation on my part, a small amount of production overrun for each order/model to account for any QC issue that may occur.

You will also see this in the Ellet Brothers models.
