Well it looks as if you have a new project. The link below is for a serial number dating list. One of these days I will print out each page. Based on the serial number your new girl was made in 1928.
I have one similar to your with the model number of FR2971137 made in 1922. I will see if I have pics and post them for comparison to yours.
