Nice - - we're already getting somewhere! :)

Model A Firesides (so far): #1 - #99459

Model B Firesides (so far): #102307 - #117989


Can anyone provide a higher number on a Model A Fireside?

Can anyone provide a lower or higher number on a Model B Fireside?

My machine numbers won't help as they are in the middle of the run of Model A machines.
The George Frow Book mentions that the Fireside was still selling at 250 machines per week in mid 1913 (the standard dropped to 50 p/W)
The current results suggest a transition at around 100,000 A machines and possibly only 20,000 or so B machines although again Frow mentions they stay on the lists till 1915 in the US.

My Fireside A is s/n 6833. It is equipped with an H&S nickel plated tricolor horn, Tizit and a Chicago crane. The case is factory drilled for a cygnet crane. (not sure if all of them were or not.)
