Deplaylady,

Nice Minnesota B. This is a Davis Model G rather than an M-E, which came from an article in Ismac's which is about 10 years old. I don't think there's anything more recent or better to replace it (the article) with but 75% is good. The Davis models are on the yellow sheet which came from an Excelsior SM supply catalog. I don't think the feller writing the article in Ismacs had access to this.

"B"'s were made from 1899(Burdick) or so till around 1910. Yours is about in the middle of that, 1905. I see you were able to pry it away from your daughter
