Michael, those serial numbers indicate that they were made in Chicago, the style 35 in 1936 and the Style 97 in 1939, making it probably among the last tricones ever made.

Anyways, those are super cool!

On a different topic, what tuning do you all use on those tricones?

I mainly use an open E, from low pitch to high E-B-E-G#-B-E, sometimes C#m7:

E-B-E-G#-C#-E
