Dave, I'll appreciate hearing from you after you take another look at your search, I've studied Packard patents quite a bit and I still believe the correct number must be a bit over 1700, not 18,000.

As you probably know, Packard listed their number of the U.S. and foreign patents on the patent plates of their cars from about 1924(500 patents) thru the 14th series (1936) and at that time they say "over fourteen hundred". Seems nearly impossible that, if the first 35 years yielded 1400, the last 21 years yielded over 16,000.

I do have the list of the 1736, as well as hardcopy of many of them, if you want to compare notes.
