• Notes
• Aristocrat and Patriot are virtually similar. There is only a distinction in the colors as follows:
  PATRIOT: only these 3 color combinations according to te US flag:
  - Red w/white&blue trim;
  - Blue w/red&white trim;
  - White w/red&blue trim.
  Star knobs.
  Any other color/combination is an ARISTOCRAT ! Originally all Aristocrat models had a brown handle and brown knobs (bullet type, not Star!). Further combinations, e.g. black case with star knobs look interesting, but are obviously not original and were easily created by collectors/antique dealers.
