Edward L. Parsons, Jr.Congrats Eugene, so now you are collecting The Seven Stars! Nice example!
I enlarged and adjusted the lighting in your movement photo to make it easier to see the details.
It's a Type I, serial #5421470, which is already in the
Seven Stars Database.

Eugene BuffardI am a firm believer if you buy junk you will sell junk. I paid good money. But left my self a little wiggle room. I spoke to Lindell 2 times that day as I was standing under an oak tree in the middle of missouri. 25 miles to nearest McDs. He said there will allways be a stall at his stable for this work horse.
