[TOOL MAN]

I believe there were six models/grades offered on the SBTs at least through the late 30's??? Victory, 4E, 5E, 6E, 7E and the opulent, Sousa. The 6E had a very limited run, maybe 5 to 6 years, tops.

The original Flues SBT had two extensions with wedge bolting --

Pretty quickly A.P. Curtis changed the bolting to a Greener-style cross-bolt --

a bit later the Curtis bolting was modified a bit --

All this in a barely seven-year production run
