[SEL] Fairbanks early serial numbers

[Elden DuRand]

Denis:

Take a look at my 2 HP "Jack of All Trades".  It is here at this link:

I have questions about the date of it.  With the number "665" stamped on the -base- of the cylinder and no numbers anywhere else, I ass-u-me that it's a very early example, possibly 1897.  It has 2-bolt flywheels, one crankcase cover, "beehive" mixer and plugged hot tube.

Any illumination you can shed will be appreciated.

Take care - Elden
