Fresh ones sure keep me away...
Some of the creepy crawlies in the basement sure make me think I might be willing to try one though.

Did they stop making the 66 back clamp in 1923, or was the last set of serial numbers that would use them allocated in 1923? There are machines too that took years to leave the factory, hence why you see 1948 machines with centennial decals on them.
