Starrett No. 113 mismark?

[sambo]

Has any one ever seen a Starrett no. 3 or a no.113 with a anvil cutout as shown? It looks exactly like a no. 231 only marked 113. All the no. 3 and 113's I've seen have the squared off frame. Maybe a mismark? Seems to date about 1909 -1916. Hope the picts came thru OK, I'm new at this.

Yes, I have the same exact one. I will check my early 1900's catalog.....

I'm also thinking its pre 1900 but I will check

I don't know, sorry, I was curious to know what is in the envelope though ?

Thanks Sam, I should have posted a picture of the other side. The last patent date is Dec. 19, 1907, but upon examination, I noticed that the later patent of July 20, 1909 was actually used. I have most of the early catalogs of this period but don't see any #3's or 113's with this cutout. I believe, but am not positive, that the cutout feature appeared about 1909. It was introduced with the #230 & 231. I was impressed by this mike because it was in such outstanding condition. Looks unused! The original Morocco case is very nice as well. Thanks for your input.

Hi Willy, the envelope contains the adjusting wrench. Pretty much the standard case-hardened job. I'm not sure if it's original though.
