Thanks, I knew 55296 was the first according to the book I just didn't realize someone actually had it.. I'm looking at a grade 2 55319.

I own 55,314, shipped December 26, 1888 to the Parker Sales Store in New York City. It is an EH 10. Totally original and in very high original condition except the barrels have been nicely refinished.

I have an early EH, in the 57,000 range, I believe, and it is also a 2 frame.
