History

First had top alarm shutoff knob, later had back shutoff. The price change book (see references) has the first price data given as July 17, 1933. It says "Discontinued Jan 1936 – Plain #10)" but the Tick Talk shows it as a current model in July 1937.

The price change book says "New Model" by the Jan 6, 1936 line - was that when the alarm shutoff was changed?
