Fidelity Deluxe (?)

[Windsong]

I have seen a lot of stencils, but this is a new one for me.  It sure appears to be equipped with the "Pedler Appliance".  It is identical, in fact.  Some other keys (front A key, 2 of the four leaf pinky keys) appear to be Harry Pedler's, too.

That's a very odd name! There's probably over 100 random names on metals from back then. It seems that any music store could pay a small premium to the manufacturer to get their name on bells. But whatever Fidelity Deluxe is supposed to "mean" is beyond me.

Well, I would say it provides deluxe fidelity, of course!  🤣

You are certainly right, Dave.  Just when we think we have seen all the names, a new one pops up, and what a silly name.  It's vague, but bears the promise that it is not junk. 

That Appliance key makes me wonder if Harry Pedler had a hand in this one.  He didn't even patent his design, which was in use from about 1920-on until after he left his own company, and it is certainly possible that someone copied it legally.
