Ok, here's a question for those familiar with the older models. How many different models were produced with the winged bridge and during which years?

I ran across a guy with what I think was a 1111-4 last night. It had a winged bridge and a square paper label. The inside of the bowl clearly had a hand laid fabric appearance but it was not a shiney bowl. The serial number had been scraped off of the label and it had no red ink on the label. It appeared to be a Balladeer with round fret markers. It was actually in very good condition with no sound board cracks, but did have one small crack radially, but not through the entire width, of the rosette. It played very nicely but didn't have near the sound quality of my 1537. I guessed it's age at '69 or '70, but the serial number is obliterated.

Any thoughts?
