I have a VERY early BE, (maybe the earliest, s/n 75), with the same "backwards" arrangement. Don't know if it's a function of being so early, or just a mistake...

I've always like the BE. It's a ton of style in a small package. Jerry B.

A friend of mine has a backward BG. I have heard of too many for them to be an accident. We theorize they may have been ordered by some dealers as working window displays.

Thanks V.T., that would certainly be a good possibility. Jerry
