Thanks for the info. I will see what I can find from AMA about these individual's AMA numbers, and see if the last two numbers might happen to be "85". I've had Kim Kirkland's Beachcomber guessed before, but this plane is not the Beachcomber since Kirkland had his Beachcomber at the meet----I have pictures of it I will include. It IS possible this might be a second plane of his with a different design---I don't know what Kirkland looked like---I only have a picture of the Beachcomber, with a sign with his name on it in the picture.

It's just a matter of time---ask those you know who might know Kirkland, (or be an expert in early pattern), to look at the picture, and give their opinion.
