Forty-four years in this hobby and still haven't seen it all and still learning new stuff. Amazing. I am so lucky to have this hobby!

I think it's interesting too. It's strange that there aren't records of when these changes occurred and why they changed them.

I found that the variation shown on your W250 was being used in 1918, but can't come up with more than that. Maybe the Edison Papers on the Rutgers site has something about this hidden in all those documents.

This is the medallion that my C250 has; not the pentagonal one. The machine is from 1917 or so because it has the Duncan stop.

The W&M W250 my photo is from is of the same vintage with the Duncan stop.
