Description:
I'm unsure of the date of this, as the serial number doesn't match the numbering in the database. The round keys, leather (not felt) type slug padding, and the lack of elliptical bolts on the top of the segment make me wonder if this is earlier than 1956.
I discovered the serial number after scraping away melted rubber from the gaskets.
