Later “pin guns”

Post by orpington »

McIntosh writes in his book on page 113 that most of the “pin guns” he’s aware of shipped in the 56000 range or lower. He writes of the following exceptions:

57729 shipped July 19,1911
58657 shipped September 15, 1911
60026, unknown
60507 shipped August 9, 1912
60726 shipped July 22, 1912
61412 unknown
62244 unknown
62262 shipped September 27, 1912

I’m guessing these serial numbered 57,000 and greater “pin guns” are far, far more common than McIntosh believed. Please post your over 57,000 serial numbered “pin gun” to this thread. The only two I own qualify:

57792, sold to Supplee, October 23, 1911. Presumably this was Supplee Hardware, Philadelphia, PA.

58814, shipped December 16, 1911 to E K Tryon Co, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
