This specimen of MF No. 2 - 1929 is unusual. It
is most likely produced after 1938, after a new, two pinion
model was introduced.
First, the tigerwood is used for the main handle and
crank handle. This wood was never used before 1938 and was
introduced with two pinion model. Second, the crank plate is the same
shape as on 1938 model.
Rare find and interesting addition to any toolbox or
collection.
