It is an 0 frame

Fenn is a very prominent name in CT, and specifically Wethersfield CT. The house where he lived is even more famous; The Silas Deane House. Fenn was the Fish & Game Commissioner before being elected to Congress. He is related to (in a fashion which strains my memory) to the co-founder of the Taylor & Fenn Co., now in Windsor, but originally in Hartford. Taylor and Fenn were my grandfather's, and father's principal competitors in the iron business, though we got out of iron in 1972.
Fenn must have had some influence on my father, because my grandparents lived immediately next door to them.
Andrus & Naedel was a well known sporting goods company in Hartford. Their name is on a label sewn into my father's college baseball mitt. They eventually became Gray's Sporting goods.
