I have a friend that has this model. It’s never been restored and not as pristine as the example here, but still in good condition. My friend’s example was left in an upstairs area of a barn. The home and barn, where it was found, were purchased by his great-great-grandfather in Painesville, Ohio. It has been in his family’s possession since. It’s a beautiful example he is proud to own and well-taken care of. Mounted as a centerpiece, but unnoticed by most!
