at one point a few years back, we owned a total of 11 1A's. I did not keep good records on each of them, but I do recall that one of them had the "double swoop" lid and the bottom of the door was straight with an additional straight board under the door and it had cloven feet. It was in oak and was a late serial number. By the way, I do have a correct flat dolphin key for the very early 1A's if you know of anyone needing one. I bought it at Union a few years ago for three hundred dollars as I recall.
