Plate's been painted, which covered the model and serial number. I did find what appears to be the serial number, in small black numbering, on the extreme treble section of the soundboard. #94726 seems to correspond to about 1900. It measures 5'10 and change, so I'm guessing it's a model "O"? I don't think L's were introduced until 1911, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, since the O & L are the same length, would a string cover for an L also fit the O, or are other differences in the cases?<br> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="ecxAOLMsgPart_1_1b8a75bf-ae64-4773-8967-5ac41bdf5fc3"><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'> The O has a much rounder tail.
