I have other makes I service that are earlier than the years you mention as
well:

Remington Spinet, #219316, 1933
Harwood Spinet, #138639, 1935
Cable-Nelson Spinet, #187851, 1935
Gulbransen Spinet, #320624, 1936
Winter Spinet, #146772, 1936
Gulbransen Spinet, #319688, 1936
Story & Clark, #140277, 1936

but the Elburn takes the cake!
