If you want, I can send pics of the “Cummins’ Initial Machine”, which spells out letters that are nearly 3/4″ high. You can use them as you like, without any credit to me. The plate on the machine reads “Cummins’ Initial Machine / Pat. Aug. 20, 1889. / Jul. 29, 1890-Nov. 29, 1892. / The B. F. Cummins Co. / Chicago”.
I have an old piece of equipment from your company. Model number is 900 serial number is 6645 trying to find some information on it.
