I haven’t a clue. I wish RocketMan was still around. I will have to do some digging and see what I can find. I would love to find out if Yankee was made first then the Ever Ready. I am leaning that way. Hopefully people can chime in and fill in some blanks. All I can do is fire up the Waits!! I need to spring for that.

Wow! Veddy nice. Which came first you think? I haven’t a clue. I wish RocketMan was still around. I will have to do some digging and see what I can find. I would love to find out if Yankee was made first then the Ever Ready. I am leaning that way. Hopefully people can chime in and fill in some blanks. It's my understanding that Yankee changed their name to Ever Ready in 1905. After that ER would occasionally release a prototype with the Yankee brand because ER still owned the name. So I'm guessing since both shovelhead types came out in 1909...and both were manf. by ER...The first run/prototype was probably Yankee and the adjusted fine tuned "New Ever Ready" followed shortly there after and stayed in English production at least through 1915 or in limited production until 1919 with the 1924's first came out. I've seen them advertised through 1915...

Yankee shovelhead is intensively advertised in summer 1911 in the Washington Post then pretty quickly disappears. I find no reference beyond early 1912. Attachments:

Seriously?? Man i sure don't miss being a prisoner of the Apple "ecosystem". I guess 1911 beats 1915. Oh, I've seen the earlier ads...They were marketed in 1909...I was just trying to document how late, before 1919, that they were STILL being marketed. But all of my stuff here is for the "New" Ever Ready....I realized after posting, that Tom is referencing the 1909 Yankee. I got "nothing" on the Yankee after 1909...lol. That ad Tom has is amazing. So it looks like ER made both 1909s; the Yankee and the ER concurrently! And jmudrick ....I hear you...I'm dragging my feet and not sure if I want to get back in...ha,ha...Problem is...when my ipad died, it trapped all my files...and is holding them hostage in an apple-cloud! I might just call it a loss and keep getting up! Lol!
