The model O has a smaller, more rounded tail than the Model L that replaced
it.  There were two styles of O, the first introduced in 1900 was 5' 10", and
the second was introduced in 1914 as a 5' 10 1/2".  The model was discontinued
in 1923.  
   I like the model O,  well voiced, it has a very nice punchy sound.
