Thanks for visiting my web page. I don't have any thing on your Duttons, but you might try subscribing the Dutton list if you are not already a member. There are quite a few members from the two main Dutton lines in the U.S. (the Dutton's of MA and PA). The instructions for subscribing are at the bottom of my Dutton web page. I'll cc the list with this response.
