L. Bailey patent numbers
Tom MacGregor, Vermont
>I've found lists of Leonard Bailey's patents back to 1867, but his first one was in 1855 & you can't search the Patent Office records back that far without a patent number. I specifically want to look at one from August 1858. I got a #12 style scraper with that date on the brass adjuster knob, but the small size and shape of the base and placement of the adjuster post under the handle instead of at the edge of the sole doesn't match any type studies I've seen so far. Any ideas, anyone?
