Paper Time Fuses

I was hoping y'all could assist with some data gathering. I'm looking to expand my collection of paper time fuses. I currently have:
• Black
• Green
• Red
• 30-sec
• 25-sec
• 20-sec
• 15-sec
• 10-sec
• 5-sec
• 4-sec
Does anyone know any other times that I should be looking for? I would think there are some sizes between 5-sec and 10-sec.

Col. Biemecks book volume 2 page 303 has a chart of paper time fuses and their lengths

I didn't know that and just looked at it. It's a very good start but some are missing.
Some fellow has a 6 second red fuse on eBay right now which is a pretty uncommon one.
