Early Oilcan, First Style "Ball behind
Transmitter" |
|
c. 1898 -
The earliest model oilcan had a cast brass base with the serial # stamped into the
lower lip of the base. Equipped
with Flat-back transmitter, early brass-bottomed
receiver marked Stromberg & Carlson. |
|
Early Oilcan "Ball Behind Transmitter" |
| c. 1899 - Very similar to the first model with the
exception of the spun brass base, which was less expensive
to produce as well as being much thinner. The thin base
required the relocation of the stamped serial # to the
collar above the base. This model, for reasons I can only
assume, had the number stamped into the spun base. It could
have been produced during the transition, a test model, or
prototype of some sort. One of the characteristics of
models with the spun base is the development of stress
cracks as they age, which are visible in the close-up. If
desired, they can be repaired. |
