Description

Enterprise Cherry Stoner. Model No. is not indicated. Bears patent from April 24, 1883, but is likely from the 20th-century. No paint which may indicate it was the "tinned" version of the No. 1, but it appears to be larger. It is smaller than the later No. 117 version that appears in the 1927 catalog.
