This the second one of these that I own. It is a little older than my other one. Slightly narrower, name is cast differently, and there is the remains of some pretty pinstripping on one side. This one has Pat'd 1873, the other has that date plus pat'd 1882. I can see no difference in them from a mechanical standpoint.
