Thank you for the pictures. The L/50 boxed is amazing

I would like to show you the L/15 800 boxed (also marked). It's not in the best condition, but I hope you enjoy it.

Kind regards.

Nice ones Sanya !

Always a fun question to try and answer. I would mostly agree with Sanya but I'd change the order and one or two:

1. Marked L/53
2. Mayer Schinkel
3. Mayer marked L/18 or L/50
4. Straight 9
5. Unknown Maker Schinkel (this one):

That last one is harder to find than I thought. Common in its EK1 form, it's not easy to find in its EK2 form and is often confused for the L/54-Assmann-FLL type to which it may be related.

IMO
1. L/53
2. Mayer crosses mm L/18 , L/50 & unmarked 1 & 2 type core & of course schinkel
3. Straight Nine
4. Deschler prototype
5. L/12
6. .........ect

In that case, I will give my "ten"

1) L/53
2) Mayer's L/50 (and Mayer's schinkel)
3) Odd 9
4) Mayer's L/18 (and double: L/18 + 800)
5) double: L55 + 100
6) B-Type
7) very early with "coral frame"
8) P&L
9) double: 4+L/16
10) double: 7+L/13

Very interesting Jarek.

Can we see the reverse of the EK1?

And have you seen more than one of this EK2?

Very interesting crosses Jarek, thank you. So do you have a theory about the maker? Your book is wonderful but impenetrable for me

Hi Trevor

I know, the Polish language is very difficult

I do not undertake to decipher the producers of early crosses. This is probably impossible.
