Hi baldeagle, thanks for the information! 4 per inch is very large! Was it definitely built during the war? I assume that they all were, but I just wanted to ask. Some types were still in production after the war, although I am not sure if this applies to the Jenny or not, and many were re covered after the war. Do you know if the covering definitely dates to WW1?
