I picked this one up this morning for $60.00.
Serial # 221156
The book said a few of them had the logo on the side plate, this one does. Made sometime between 1910-17.
Not the best looking example in the world but I took it as a project as it was completely frozen-up with something that actually had a patch of some type of mold on it! I've never seen that one before!
I could tell it was not rust that was binding it up.
I took it apart and soaked/scrubbed it in degreaser for a while (it was full of gunk, it came out in chunks) then properly lubed it and put it back together.
It went back together just fine and is up and running.
Great bore and chambers and it's tight. The brown gutta percha grips are in good shape.

with envy and maybe a little pissy!! Just what I've been looking for. Great deal!!
