I don't think this adds much to the information being compiled, but my Eagle SN 154023 has the 7 city tag. My Q SN 643523 has the 8 city tag.

Dan, it may not add new information, but it helps confirm the pattern that is slowly emerging.

I checked my early Cased Q and the S/N is 373479. It has the 8 city tag.I have my model B's put away, and now I have to dig them out, now.

More evidence that the change from "7 Cities" to "8 Cities" occurred between Q No.318734 and No.344602.

Here is a photo of my B serial number and tag. The Q is either serial number 991498 or 991493. This is assuming that these tags were original to these particular machines. As this thread has proven, that is not always the case. My busy Bee Q has no tag, should it? Please excuse the dust.

It's interesting to see the "7 City" mandrel tag on Eagle No.198896. I would have guessed that the "8 City" tag had appeared by then. Now I'm wondering if the change in mandrel tags occurred at the same time for Qs and Bs... There are several possible variables. I'm looking forward to more Eagle data...
