Thanks Paul: I was pretty sure it was built during the Aeolean period but I was hoping that it was still being built in the old factory rather than in the Memphis factory, as were the 80's Masons. Later.

They bought several names back in the 30's and 40's and really did a number on those great old names. Not nearly the grand quality of those old "real" M&H's Have fun with it!

It turned out that it was really # 57076. # 3118 was, as you might expect, the shop number. It turns out that it was built in 1949 or 50. Is that a good year or not? Thanks for your efforts. The moral of this story: never trust a client to give you the serial number. Gerald McCleskey RPT Shreveport, LA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
