Description:
Described by Herman Price at his website as a "new style" Reliance Visible." This machine was sold by Montgomery Wards for $48.50 in 1916.
The serial number, 51982, is the one found on the interchangeable typebasket. I was not able to find a similar number on the frame. (Note: The keyboard and typebasket are removable.)

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Reliance Visible on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Reliance Serial Number page and the Reliance Visible By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
