Comments:

The actual Gen Set is not owned nor is its existence known — the original photo was bought on eBay. There is embossed lettering in the lower right corner that reads: “Baldwin Studio; Buffalo N.Y.”

The date was originally listed herein as 1911, but was suspect per comments received from another member (thank you for taking to time to provide such detailed information). Thus, the date has now been revised to the mid-1930's per information received after re-contacting the original eBay seller. The seller bought the photo at an auction, but it was with other items from the 1930’s, so the seller estimated a 1930’s date.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the member who submitted this photo.

Comments: This is a prototype Gen Set circa 1911 — the photo was probably taken to produce a brochure or advertisement.
Source: The reproduction photo was bought on eBay in 2010.
