    Finally finished my YLQ and am happy with the results !
    This particular Yale has a steel lower vent and brass top vent , steel collar and steel fount !
    It bears the single patent mark on the air tube but no other markings other than on the diamond shaped top nut .
    Runs real nice too!!
    These apparently had an optional ML99 generator that allowed them to run on kero ??
    Found in Indiana

    That’s incredible.
    It amazes me the quality of your collection.
    That vent nut is awesome for sure.
