I was wrong. There are similar stampings among the early Shakespeare line-up to the Alamo reel.








But….the Alamo is the only one that has the name of the reel on the headplate and no “William Shakespeare Jr. Co Kalamazoo Mich”. The others have the model name stamped on the tailplate.
The serifs are different on the S also.
