I am struck by the Whitney alone, I think there were only somewhere around 35,000 total that were manufactured. Federal army purchased 10,000 or so. I believe something like 6,000 were purchased by the Navy.
I have no idea what you paid but in my opinion it was a darn good buy.
There are two models and several changes indicative to each. You will have great fun tracking down the history of that one!
Keep us informed if you are inclined to and thanks for sharing!
