Additional Notes:
To my knowledge the Number 2 did not appear in any known catalogs, advertisements or price lists, but there are a few examples of actual planes that have been noted. I believe that these are early planes manufactured before the release of the 1921 catalog, rather than latter-made planes when the company was winding down their planemaking operations. See the entry for the Number 902 Smooth Plane for more information.
