I have taken the liberty of reformatting Mr. Haugh's chart from this page for (maybe) easier reading.

Italics and question marks are mine -- I copied these exactly but I do not know what they mean.
I guarantee that I have no information about any of this. Do not direct any questions to me.

[Smokey Fennell]

I'm trying to get this steel back in playing shape for someone and would like to know the model and age. I need a few parts that connect the knee levers to the cross rods. Like the set screw and whatever holds the reverse lever parts together etc.

[W. C. Edgar]

Hi
I have #12549
What all can you tell me about it?
Year?
Model?
Where sold?
Where built?
Thanks for all you do!
WC Edgar

[Rick Grieco]

Thanks, Jon! I was able to find out when my Maverick was made! My cousin gave it to me over 30 years ago, and all along I thought it was built in 1972, but it turns out it was actually made in April of 1971! Serial # 1070
