Re-reading what GeneB wrote in his first post to this thread and looking at the SN sheet again,it looks like there were no Model 1909's made in 1909. Looks like most, if not all, production ocurred in 1910 and sales continued until they were gone, as Rick has indicated. As Gene pointed out, catalogue #50 that introduces the Model 1912 didn't include the 1909. That would ahve been in 1912?

I'm thinking something closer to 12,000 total production based on what we have.
