John, thanks for the information. Based on guns near yours in the database, I would assume that your gun has the large mushroom shaped knob on the extractor rod, a small S&W logo on the left side, Made in USA on the right side and the stocks are the regulation police style.

The change from the regulation police style back to the 2 screw extension target type stock was issued on 8/29/1923 or about 5 months after your gun was shipped. Your shipping destination sounded familiar so I looked through the database and found one other entry that shipped to E. K. Tryon Co., Philadelphia, PA. It is serial number 138,911 and shipped on 8/1/1911. It is interesting to note that it shipped in the same month but 12 years before yours and falls into the range of numbers associated with the Phil Bekeart shipments but did not ship to him.

That would be a neat gun to locate and pair with yours.
