Greetings,

Well yesterday I got my mystery bell in the mail. Mystery because I was not sure if it was going to be a Griswold or a RACO. It turned out to be a very old and heavy Griswold made of mostly cast iron with an aluminum back door and visor. Much of the wiring was cloth and it needed a ...

US&S Teardrop Model 15-A Manual from 1921

I won the US&S Teardrop manual on e-bay for 37 dollars, it seemed quite a few people wanted the thing, I just wanted it for informational value and to scan it, if someone here wants the original, let me know.
