gibson
 All that I know is that it appears in the 1954 catalog, it's not in the 1952 or 1955 catalog and I don't have the 1953 catalog to check it. So a 1 maybe 2 year run.
 It more than likely has a J in a circle code on it which would indicate Reed Mfg. as the mfr.

Thanks Bill.  I'll have another look but I didn't see any markings on my first look.

Strange. I ran across one in Baldwin City, Ks. two days ago. Never saw one before.
