I agree with Gino, #2. essentially because of the length closed and the squarish bolsters. You can check Queen Historical documents under "Advertizing material" for catalog images, or "statistical reports" for history of Model 2 production. The Schatt & Morgan numbers are usually longer than 3 digits and quite variable - so I would lean too heavy on the 253 number, especially on Ebay - see ALL kinds of stuff wrong there.
