Jim Dunn Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Hey Jim.I believe it to be the real m’coy. I have had mine over 10 years which is identical. It had the original finish. I don’t recall the manufacturer. Russ you are onto something with the cage… a striking resemblance. 1 Quote
Kim Frank Posted January 3 Posted January 3 We have one in the Museum. Looks just like the ones posted here. Quote

James Lawson Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I think the K-M motors and cages were ordered and the final product was assembled by a third party. I'm not sure who it was, though. Maybe there's some period advertising out there that would give a better clue? Quote
