Stan Adams Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Blades look Victor. Looks like one of those companies that bought parts & put them together. Figured you would go after that looking like an Eskimo. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Google full read books fade around 1928 now for the most part, and then go to book snippets. Each passing year Google full read books continue to expand. When it comes to the larger circulators, which for most part went full bloom starting in the 1930s forward, web access to old newspaper is an asset. Mike Kearns tediously over many years has compiled a huge stash of detailed circulator information far surpassing anything I have dug up. Mike wisely puts data and information to file. I don't. Robert's contribution may have pegged it. Steve's circulator may well be a Berns Air King product. But I am just speculating. I have seen in the flesh, but never purchased Berns Air King product.

Steve Sherwood Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 I just checked the housing with a magnet, pot metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I'm leaning towards aluminum. If so, you could have fun with that one by stripping the housing paint and taking it to a buffing wheel. You could bring out a Chrome luster to the housing. A fine wire wheel on a drill will clean off the rust on the guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't kind of "Peculiar" to have a tightwad buyer driving to a town named Tightwad in his home state of Missouri?🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a quiet one horse town. Probably got one church and 4 bars. He can stumble out of one honky tonk and fall into another just across the street. On the sabbath he can repent his sins. That's how we do it in small town Wisconsin. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
