Very Nice Brian ! ! !
Congrats on sealing this deal ! ! !
No cracks in the top...?
I don't have a lot of documentation, but it does seem Stewart and Lyon were subsidiaries or similar companies like S&S/Quikold or Vendo/VMC...
According to what I have read, the Stewart literature date was prior to documentation I read about the Lyon 500...
Somewhere, there was documentation about the Lyon company and someone was related to the Lyon family... But I cannot remember details at the moment...

Thanks Everyone!! Thanks for the literate too! Interesting on the meger of Stewart and Lyon. I have been waiting fo this machine of a long, long time. I missed out on the one that sold last year in Chicago. I think one of our memembers here got it. Anyway, finally got one. I willl post more pics, when I get them taken this weekend. Interesting inside of the machine and small little compressor. It really was a great design by the company, small, art deco looking and $.5 cents!!! The top is fiberglass and has no cracks, it has been with the guy for the last 25 years! Prior to that it was at the old theater for like 20 years. So, for the last 45-50 years, just sitting around waiting for me to seal the deal!
