    January 1940 Gas Trap Conversion......Restoration?

    I know a fair amount about M1icon's, but I know next to nothing about these. Mr. Canfields book didn't have much, neither did Mr. Duff's so I'm coming here for opinions, Some of the pics are a little blurry, but they weren't before I blew them up, so I apologize in advance. the serial number on this is 26,174 the Gas Trap data sheet in Mr. Duff's red book on a January 1940 is 26,171. Only 3 off, kinda cool. Thank you for any help. Scott
