OK, gentlemen,

I am ignorant, and this is time that you can set me straight and have a little fun at my expense.

How is this 1906 a 1900?

Wes,
First off, it is not even a Model 1906. It is a post WWI commercial manufactured in the 1921/22 time frame according to Still.

How do these guys come up with this stuff? You have to wonder if the seller really believes this nonsense, or if he assumes the rest of the world is brain dead.

Hey Ron,

The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and ignorance...thats how.
Has anyone offered to set the gentleman straight?
