Do you all have the Free #5? Does anyone else have one with pending patent dates written on the cabinet top?
Does anyone have a Free with patent dates on the slide plate? If so, what are the dates?

ok I just looked at the slide plate. It says Patented Feb 11-02,
Oct 17- 05, July 30-07, Sept 15-08, Dec 21-09, Jan 4-10 and states other patents pending.
These patent dates are pretty consistent with when I was told it was purchased using ww1 war bonus.
Serial number 031503 no letter prefix on serial #
