OK...It's been along time since this stuff was compiled, so first, just to set the record straight, Emil had at least 7 patents...546516 Bay City Mich. 1895...980174 Ithaca NY 1910 (not assigned to Ithaca)...1070441 Ithaca NY 1913 assigned to Ithaca Gun Co (note, pat applied for Nov 1909) this is the the refined Flues model that we are all familiar with. This patent was a rare "divided patent" with the second half being issued as 1071994, that was issued in Sept 1913, of course it's also assigned to Ithaca Gun Co...Then 1160157 Buffalo NY Nov 1915, That's right, by 1915 Flues was clearly in Buffalo. In the past, some would not accept that date. There's the patent number, anyone who rejects that date can look it up themselves online, it doesn't make a difference what some city directory says....Then 1312170 Buffalo NY 1919...then 1450496 Buffalo NY 1923...
This list may not be complete...if I find more I'll post the numbers
I can find no evidence of Emil ever residing in Reece Michigan...
