I bet you're right Django--- My serial # is 543 Likely early in the run--
My data label inside the cabinet is dated Jan 1, 1915
Were there labels dated later??

Mine has the same label. I had read that the VE-XVIIIs were all built by the end of 1915.

I was sure that I would never own a XVIII, (VE or VV), but now I have two, (one of each). I got this one for $450.00. I hope that is just a real good deal rather than a reflection of value. I don’t own them as an investment of for resale, so a drop in market value is not critical to me, but I still hate to see it. Fortunately for me, the first picture that they used gave no clue that it was a VXIII, and the title didn’t either. I almost passed it by without looking.
