Hi,
I am doing research on model O reproducers and am interested in finding out if anyone has an all brass top O that I can get the serial number of. Years ago I got the serial number of one, around 3500, but I lost my file. Contact me privately if you wish, all personal info remains confidential. I will also be very happy to get any O or N serial number and share information.
The iron and brass O has the name plate made of nickel plated brass held on by four pins and the iron ferule around the sound tube. A magnet will stick to the sound tube of a iron and brass O and the upper iron parts are flash nickel plated. So far 5132 is the lowest iron and brass and 12557 is the highest I have found with 13340 being the lowest pot metal one I know of and 65764 is the highest O serial number I have. I know about when the trowel weight came out and when they went to the dome top. The O and N shared serial numbers as did the R and S and the small tops (B D C H J K) shared the same serial numbers. I do know of N and N-56 with R and S serial numbers.
If anyone wants to give me a serial number let me know what top it has, dome or flat and its composition, the turn over rod end, and the weight, round or trowel.
There are three types of turn over rod ends, the earliest had knurling on the end, the middle had the arrows on the end and then the knurling, the last has the pointer. The middle style is the least common.
