It does help some--it carries a January 1912 patent date. According to the Baumbach book, the Nonpareil models, both early and late, were introduced in 1911. That seems a bit odd to me; I'd have expected at least a year or two between one and the other; regardless, the label on yours establishes that it is not an "early production" early model but rather came at least a little later than the 1911 inaugural year. (Bear in mind that patent dates do not establish production dates, only the point before which production could not have happened.)dzavracky wrote:This is on the bottom of the cabinet.

[Edit] Incidentally, for what it's worth, Baumbach indicates the early Nonpareils had "crimson silk velvet on the turntable."
