Re: Again, the R-13 Identification Subject

Jim,
I asked for Buffet owners of 1954-1955 to "check in" and did not get much of a response. Maybe things will be different this time. The below post came from this bulleton board;

"Just to add a bit of information about the polycylindrical Buffet R-13: last year I bought two Buffet Bb's at auctions. One was a serial #48526 (1954) which was definitely the larger bore Buffet type previous to the the polycylindrical R-13 and a serial #48830 (1955) which was a smaller bore, polycylindrical design. Just two examples, but a bit more indication that 1955 was the year Buffet started marketing the Carree polycylindrical R-13."

Hope this helps
Mark
