Transmitter faceplate reminds me of old SC.
The steerhook makes it early
Just a guess,

Looks like Kellogg to me. Not many about as it was in production for, I think, only a year.

Well there's interesting.

It appears to be a somewhat tatty version of my own recent Kellogg find, interesting to note that one says Patented, mine says Patent applied for.

My recent research has led me to believe these are often called a Kellogg 1901.

I will watch that auction with interest.

Yours is older - before the patent was granted.

They are often called that but it was current in 1900.

Why did this stick sell for $661.00? I can't even tell for sure what it is, my best guess is Kellogg?

I'd like to see the restored version!
