Billings & Spencer model 96
« on: December 08, 2015, 11:26:16 PM »
I've found lots of model 97's out there, but nothing about this 5-1/2 inch long model 96. It's very clean and seems to fit into the 1911 to 1926 timeline. But here's the question, on the backside it's stamped Waverley... anyone know what business or company Waverley is?

How does the style of the "Billings" name date this?
Really curious.

Could be from a bicycle tool kit. Indiana Bicycle Company made a Waverley bicycle (and an electric automobile).

If I understood what the Alloy Artifacts site was saying, because of the "type" script with lower case letters it is pre-1926.
