[GreenKeys] platten shaft pin

[E.]

Well, I guess what I was aiming for was for a photo to see what remained, so that it could be narrowed down… but it's okay.  I have three 19s and they both have cranks, so yeah - there are cranks on 15’s ;p .

Didn’t know about Morton Sterling and Teletype - heck ;o !  The father of Arbor Day - his mansion is just down he highway by one hour at Arbor Lodge in Nebraska City.  Next time I go down there and they have it open for tours (post pandemic), I’m going to be on the lookout for Teletypes ;D ~
